"I have something of an adventurous spirit and never hesitate to dive into what needs to be done. I am the kind of person who consistently rises to the action and leads the charge. I am also very encouraging toward those on my team and can be inspirational in helping those I work with achieve what they worry can't otherwise be done. I love mentoring others, and love it when anyone offers me coaching or shows me a better way to get something done. I put my ego aside and focus on helping everyone on the team accomplish their own goals through our common goals. That's the kind of leader I am, and my grandfather who served as a mentor to me, that's the kind of leader and hero he was. All I can do is hope to make him proud."

Share any leadership experience you've had. If you don't have any formal leadership experience, share an example of where you took the lead among your teams or took charge of your own career. Also, spend time familiarizing yourself with Zalando's brand of leadership. For example, Zalando emphasizes that their "leaders have a special responsibility for shaping our culture and upholding our standards. We expect our leaders to be role models and take responsibility for their teams to behave according to this code. And when concerns are being raised, we expect leaders to listen carefully, take every concern seriously, protect confidentiality, and take action."

Lastly, share any interest you have in rising into a leadership role if that is something you'd like to pursue, especially since they advertise they offer "training for managers on healthy leadership."
