While Goodyear prides itself in helping its employees to grow into management positions, there is the need to hire from outside their ranks from time to time. The interviewer wants to know that you are confident about your leadership abilities. Think about times when you have had to draw on your leadership abilities. Discuss the scenario and how your leadership skills made the difference. Be confident in sharing. This is your time to shine!

"I best demonstrate myself as a leader when I know that a coworker could use my assistance. I seem to be a natural teacher and mentor, which means that when someone is struggling, my first instinct is to train them. I recently coached a new employee on a sales technique that helped her achieve her quota for the first time. I look forward to working in this role with you because it will allow me to take on further leadership opportunities."

"In my current position, every time my current manager is away, I take on the role of leader for our team. This leadership opportunity usually takes place one day per week. When you call him for a reference, he will tell you that I have naturally stepped into the responsibilities associated with being a leader. I look forward to bringing those skills to my work at Goodyear."
