There are various leadership styles out there from authoritarian to participative. Prior to the interview, brush up on the one(s) that you ascribe to so you can talk fluently about it/them. Then provide the interviewer with an example of a time when you used this leadership style to successfully lead a team.
"Although my leadership style continues to evolve, I would say that I'm a mix between participative and delegative. I'm participative in that I like to involve my team in making decisions. I value their input and thoughts. I am also delegative to an extent as well in that I like to identify each team member's strengths and then delegate tasks that suit them. I trust that they are competent and responsible so I don't hang over them constantly. Instead, I request occasional status updates and trust that the work will be completed within the deadline. Although this example is from outside of work, I am currently the president of a charitable organization in my community. Under my leadership, we have raised thousands of dollars in charitable donations, and our membership is engaged, motivated, and excited. I view this as a great example of my success as a leader."
