This question is aimed at assessing your leadership potential, and the type of leaders you admire and model yourself after. Before your interview, brush up on the different leadership styles out there, and which best applies to you. If you don't have much leadership experience, reflect on a leader or mentor you admire, and would model yourself after.

"I would say that my leadership style is supportive and transformational. I have a can-do attitude and truly believe that anything can be done if you have the willpower to do it. And that attitude carries over and can be contagious. So, I often set the pace, lead by example, and keep up the momentum of projecting the right attitude."
