This question is a chance for the interviewer to get to know who you are on a personal level. A personal mission statement or mantra demonstrates what is most important to you, both personally and professionally.

"My personal mantra is that 'people who shine from within do not need the spotlight.' I feel that it is incredibly important to be a humble leader and I take this mission statement very seriously. I want my team to be in the spotlight rather than being the kind of leader that takes credit for good work."
"I am known to say 'kindness wins.' I truly believe that if we approach all situations with kindness first, the world would be a happier place."

You may not have put much thought into your personal mission statement right off the cuff. But as a leader (or someone who aspires to a leadership position), it's important that you've pondered what is central to you in the workplace. Think about quotes or sayings that you find to be inspiring.
