Even if you are not applying for a leadership role within the company, there will be times you must be a leader, and the interviewer wants to know if you consider yourself a strong leader. Strong leadership encourages, inspires, and motivates a team to produce excellent work. Explain how you consider yourself a strong leader, giving an example of your skills in action.

Avoid saying that you do not consider yourself a strong leader, which shows you may not have the motivational and team-building skills the company wants in an Electrical Inspector. If you do not have leadership skills, you can explain that you do not have experience leading a team, and describe steps you will take to improve, such as enrolling in a leadership course. Taking proactive steps to enhance your skills shows the interviewer that you are self-aware of your weaknesses and have the determination to turn those weaknesses into strengths.

"Yes, I do consider myself a strong leader. Since high school, when I was the team captain on my rugby team, I have shown I have leadership skills and can motivate, challenge, and inspire teams to do their best. Those skills have transferred into the workplace where I build relationships with my crew, communicate effectively, and teach organizational and problem-solving skills so everyone can achieve their best."
