Being a leader gives us a different perspective and allows others to grow. Explain that you enjoy helping others grow, and you are the type of leader that hopes to inspire others.

"In my current position, we break our team every day into smaller groups of 10, with one leader. Yesterday, I quickly realized that I was the most seasoned of the group and so it was natural for me to be the leader since I had the majority of the answers. I really enjoyed that aspect of the work and was complimented by my supervisor on the end result. Everyone worked well together and knew the goals of the team."

There was a time at my last job when the dishwasher stopped working. To exhibit leadership, I washed all of the dishes by hand.
Chad's Feedback
Great start! It sounds like you took the initiative to step in and complete the task yourself when the dishwasher unexpectedly stopped working. However, your response is lacking in the details that would help you to stand out from other applicants for the position, and you neglect to address key parts of the question (i.e. Did you enjoy being a leader? Were you happy with the outcome?). I suggest using the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) formula as the framework for your answer. This method will ensure that you provide the interviewer with the right amount of information, including the outcome that resulted from your actions.
