Delegating tasks to employees is always a requirement when you are in a management type of role. Talk to the interviewer about your ability to delegate.

"I find that to delegate tasks effectively you first need to understand each employee's strengths. I will always delegate to someone's strength so that they will organically know how to complete the task. Delegation eliminates a lot of resistance and promotes effective and productive work."

"To date, my role hasn't included a whole lot of delegation of my tasks to others. However, I have been responsible for taking the workload and dictating who will take on which task, such as region, customer focus, or manufacturer. In either case, I believe it is important to recognize that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. I believe it's important to identify those, provide opportunities for growth, and thereby prepare them for their next role."

In my position, that opportunity doesn't arise often but I have been responsible for figuring out who does what on a team project helping co-workers' strengths and weaknesses.

While you may not currently be in a leadership position, it does sound like you are a natural leader trusted by your team members. You can strengthen this answer by talking about what kind of tasks you assign to team members and how doing so helped you to achieve a goal or meet a success metric.
