How would your previous stakeholders and team members describe you as a leader?
This is a general leadership question, but the interviewer is looking for you to address specific aspects in your answer. Marketing is a dynamic industry that requires a lot of flexibility from project managers. Assure the interviewer that you can make decisions quickly in a high-pressure, constantly-changing work environment. Another element that you'll want to touch on is your ability to negotiate with colleagues and clients to keep projects on track.
"If you were to ask my colleagues about my leadership style, they'd say that I'm an empathetic facilitator. I try to always be sensitive to everyone's needs from the creative team to the technical team, and especially to clients. They would say that I do my best to get them all the resources they need to get their jobs done. I always ask everyone if there's any information or detail they need from me before I leave them to do their work. I'm also the glue that keeps everyone together and keeps the morale up. They'd also say that I'm the person they'd go to first whenever a fire starts and trust me to put it out."
