Perhaps you have led a team at work, been a coach for a youth sports team, or were on the advisory board for a non-profit organization. Be prepared to show the interviewer your natural ability to lead others. Whether you have led a group of 500 or a team of 2, you must show the interviewer that you can handle the responsibility of being a leader and mentor.

Talk about your desire to be a leader. Focus your answer on sharing with the interviewer that you strive to be a role model for others. Explain that you jump at the opportunity to lead groups, encourage your counterparts, and be the face of the organization when challenges arise.

"Yes, I see myself as a leader. I managed teams in two prior roles. I also believe that leadership does not always equate to management. I lead at all times by providing the best model of enthusiasm and work ethic."
"I see myself as a leader, both at work and in my extracurricular activities. I was co-captain of the swim team in high school, and I encouraged my teammates to work hard and stay positive. At work, I am generally known as a person on my unit who people can come to with questions. I think a leader maintains a positive attitude and is an example of how to conduct oneself daily."
