Remember to include a variety of approaches in your response. For example, an interviewer might not resonate with a candidate who described a completely authoritarian approach to leadership.

"My leadership style changes depending on what is needed to add value to the team experience at any given time. I enjoy serving as a coach, motivator, and facilitator. I also enjoy working with other visionary and transformational leaders and strive to use these skills in my approach.

I least enjoy bureaucratic or authoritarian types of leadership. I find it is necessary to use these styles in performance issue situations or when there are conflicts that cannot be settled in any other way. However, I first look for ways to use democratic and supportive approaches to avoid people feeling like they are being managed. I would much rather them feel they are co-creating their own experience."
