Tell me about a time you led a team. What was your biggest success factor?
The interviewer would like to hear about a time you led a team with a positive outcome. Showcase for the interviewer the primary factors that made your leadership style a success. Your example could come from the workplace or perhaps when you led a group project during your post-secondary studies. Be sure to tie in how your leadership skills will benefit the team at Costco.
"Last month, I was asked to lead our day shift employees when my boss was on sick leave. I took charge for two weeks, and the experience was quite positive! I believe the biggest success factor was that I tried to emulate his leadership style and did ask for his help when I wasn't sure what to do. I feel this experience prepared me for a leadership role. I am excited to take on a team lead role again."
