Not everyone has a mission statement or personal mantra just off the cuff. In business, especially when entering leadership, this is an important question to ponder. Maybe you have a quote that inspires you or a saying that you grew up with that really resonates with you. Whatever it is, allow the interviewer a glimpse into your personality and what inspires you.

"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."

This question allows the interviewer a glimpse into your personal morals and values. Even if you don't have an official written mission statement for your life, share a quote, anecdote, or life lesson that has had an impact on you or has guided your path in some way. Share what is most important to you in life and how you base your decisions on those priorities. Don't be afraid to share something personal to connect with the interviewer.
