The interviewer is asking this question to see if you have served in a leadership role or if you are up for the challenge. Tell the interviewer if you've had the opportunity to lead others and what the outcome was.

Restructure your answer here so you don't start on a negative note ('I haven't had the opportunity...'). Instead, emphasize the leadership experience you have and give details about the type of leadership style you are developing. Consider researching the types of leadership styles that exist so you can cite one and explain why it resonates with you. Good job!
