"Leadership" is another core competency Kira will consistently assess applicants for in their five-point scoring system. This leadership question is designed to reveal how effectively you lead by example while inspiring the rest of your team. This can pertain to the pace or standard of your work, your attitude, and your sense of camaraderie, adaptability, and collaboration. In their system, Kira defines exemplary leadership as inspiring "all team members to do better. Provides clarity and motivates the group to excel beyond goals with strong conflict resolution skills. Understands the overall team goal while working with others, and what needs to be done to be successful. They get along well with others, are solution-oriented and understand how to drive others towards a common goal." Lastly, how you answer may also provide insights as to whether you see the success of the team as equal in priority to your success as an individual.

"I was working with someone on a team who really struggled with the subject matter, and admitted it wasn't their strong suit, which frustrated them. So they really weren't participating in the project, and the rest of us suddenly found ourselves carrying their weight. So, I caught them as we were getting out of school and offered them a ride home, and they accepted. And on the ride home, I asked them about their involvement in the project, and they said they didn't need the credit for it. But I kept pressing them anyway, and we talked about their struggles with the subject matter, and in no time, I was breaking down the material and mentoring them on the subject matter. By the time I pulled up to their house, they had a breakthrough moment, and suddenly they got it. The next day they were the first one waiting at our project roundtable, and they apologized for not being present lately, and that now they were fully on board. As the project progressed, they kept asking me for my insights, but by the time the project was done, they were taking their own lead to the finish line, and we were graded highly for the finished product."
