Think about the leadership style which inspires or motivates you most. Whether inspiring innovation in others by assigning tasks equitably, based on skill, preference, or randomly, determine which approach you've found most effective and speak to its merits. Also consider the core values that apply: "trust, partnership, integrity, honesty, and quality care." Take all of this into consideration before formulating your answer.

"I'd say I am an influencer and a transformational leader. Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a person leadership skills and they'll lead for life. I've been told I am a great coach and motivator, and I think that's partly due to my approach, where I treat everyone equally, working in partnership with my teams with honesty, and integrity, earning their trust by showing I care."
