Many executive recruiters will have a team of junior associates working with them, helping with research, business development activities, initial interviews, phone calls, and documentation. The interviewer would like to know what you consider to be strong leadership qualities, and if you are comfortable leading a team of junior associates and researchers. When describing leadership qualities, try to avoid general terms and give some unique ideas. Some leadership qualities may include:
- Confident

"To me, a leader is someone who is enthusiastic, knowledgeable, adaptable, and open. A leader wants to nurture others to their fullest potential, and it is something I sincerely enjoy doing with my team of junior associates. Currently, I lead a team of two associates, one researcher, and one part-time intern. I love to be an example to follow and help guide others to bettering themselves and their careers."
