How would you describe your leadership style, and how do you feel that would benefit you in this position?

"I would describe my leadership style as supportive, open, and honest. I know that my current colleagues and staff would stay the same. I believe strongly that a leader needs to lead by example and hold themselves to a very high standard. I walk this talk every day in my work. Here at the NHS, I will treat all my staff with respect and listen attentively to their concerns because these are core values here, and my transparency and respectfulness will carry over to the care they provide."

Before your interview with the NHS, consider the qualities that make YOU a great leader. When a question like this, be sure to match your style with the culture and values of the NHS. Research the types of leadership styles out there to see where you best fit. Most importantly, be honest about who you are as a leader.
