What is your leadership style?
Many leadership styles benefit different teams in the workplace. Sometimes, one leadership style will be more effective in specific industries than others. Research the different leadership styles before your interview and choose the one that best describes how you lead a team. Give an example of your leadership skills in the workplace.
"I would describe my leadership style as a mix of leading by example and delegation. I lead by example by staying involved and working side-by-side with my activity staff and taking the lead on projects, but I also am good at delegating tasks. I feel that when I delegate responsibilities to my staff, they become more confident in their role."
