In your opinion what makes a good leader, and why?
Understanding the leadership qualities you value will serve as an indicator of the leadership style you will most likely model. So, this question is designed to help your reviewer get a better sense of your "leadership potential, emotional intelligence, and communication." This question is aimed at helping a reviewer "discover how applicants will conduct themselves in your program and beyond through unscripted, unrehearsed responses, identify applicants with the skills and traits to be successful in both your program and the workplace, and improve yield by more efficiently identifying the best candidates for interviews or offers."
"I think a good leader understands the strengths and weaknesses of everyone on the team. They have to really know everyone, be able to connect with everyone, and play on everyone's strengths. To make everyone feel valued and give everyone a voice and a chance. They need to know what drives them, how to motivate them, and above all, they need to have earned the trust of everyone on their team. That's what being a good leader means to me."
