QUESTION 18 OF 30

At Sodexo, we believe everyone can be a leader, regardless of their official title. Tell me about your leadership qualities.

"I think a good leader is someone who is always moving forward and finding ways to improve, which is something I strive to do every day. Leadership isn't just about 'being in charge;' it means actively listening to your teammates and noticing their strengths and weaknesses, as well as leading by example through a disciplined work ethic, acceptance of evaluation and feedback (even criticism), and balancing humility and ambition. I use all of those skills at work regularly and I feel they will add value to the team here at Sodexo if hired."

Describe the leadership qualities that you regularly display at work. Keep in mind that leadership comes in a wide variety of forms and does not always involve directing others. For example, consider times when you've demonstrated any of the following in the workplace: competence, coaching, decision-making, cheerleading, conflict resolution, facilitation, accountability, problem-solving, collaboration, teaching, active listening, or delegation.

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

I lead by improvising, adapting, and overcoming. I am an honest and ethical man who leads by example, takes into consideration the opinion of others, and leads with a compassionate, but accountable, mindset.

Marcie's Feedback

Good! These are all admirable leadership qualities. What kind of teams or people have you led in the past? Can you also talk about a project or initiative that you successfully led?
