Working as a cement mason requires leadership skills. You will be responsible for ensuring the project runs smoothly, completing the project satisfactorily, and keeping the crew motivated and inspired. You will also need to demonstrate to customers that you have control of the project. There are many different leadership styles: coercive, authoritative, democratic, pacesetting, and coaching. Research the different leadership styles to see which describes how you lead. Explain your style to the interviewer and give an example of your skills at work.

"I would describe my leadership style as one that coaches and leads by example. I like to set a good example, work alongside my crew, and mentor them when needed. If I expect my crew to show up early and be ready to start working on a project, I must be there before them. If I expect them to work in 100-degree weather to meet a deadline, I need to be sweating and working right there next to my crew. To me, that is a sign of a good leader."
