This question challenges you to think about how you act as a leader in your daily life. Even if you're not leading a team, you can still demonstrate the qualities of a leader! The interviewer wants to hear that you have the leadership qualities they seek in an HR Generalist.

You can be a motivator and a confident communicator in any situation at work! Focus on providing an example from your industry so the interviewer can understand your leadership skills. Give an example of how you coached a coworker who had difficulty preparing for a big presentation or helped an employee become more comfortable speaking in public. Maybe you gave them confidence in their strengths by encouraging them, or perhaps you offered some helpful hints.

You want to avoid saying you do not take on leadership roles or do not desire to lead others. One of the great qualities Walgreens is looking for in their HR Generalist is the ability to lead others even when not in a leadership role. If you feel your leadership skills could use improvement, it is recommended to take a leadership course, watch videos on leadership, or read books on improving your leadership qualities.

"Yes, I do. It's so important always to be leading by example, and you never know who is watching. That applies to stepping foot on Walgreens property or behaving on social media when tied to a large company. No matter the situation or where you find yourself, you must act accordingly to be a real leader."
