The interviewer asks this to see what kind of leadership roles you've held. Demonstrating leadership experience and success is valuable to employers. They want to hire people who have a desire to lead others. Even if you have not held a formal leadership position, consider sharing about a time you stepped up to take the lead on a project or in a job and share your desire to develop your leadership and management skills.

"Yes, I have. In my last role, I managed summer interns and other seasonal employees. I held weekly team meetings and did my best to delegate tasks based on each teammate's strengths. I also had everyone under my leadership fill out a feedback form to help me develop as a leader. I learned quite a bit about working collaboratively, and I hope to have another opportunity as a manager in the future."
