A good response to this question would be discussing previous experience working on a team and particularly instances where that person has been leading others. A hiring manager is looking for a producer who is able to keep the show and others around them running smoothly, even when approaching deadline or when part of the show falls through. A good response has the potential producer explain that they can juggle their own work while also helping others finish theirs.

I am a natural leader and have no problem jumping in when help is needed. At my former station when my boss would go on vacation, I would step up to leading producers and deciding news coverage for each show. After completing my show, I would often stay after to help my fellow producers with their shows.

Great answer! Your experience leading other producers in your boss' absence, and assisting your peers with their shows, will assure the interviewer of your ability to manage your own workload, while also helping others finish theirs.
