One of the qualities of an excellent thoracic surgeon is leadership skills. You will be leading surgical teams, teaching, and mentoring others. The interviewer wants to hear that you consider yourself a leader to ensure you are a good fit for the organization. Describe your leadership skills with an example of them in action.

"Yes, I do consider myself a leader. I started working on my leadership skills in high school when I was the captain of our football team. I learned to motivate and encourage those around me to work on a common goal. Those qualities have carried over into my professional life, as I must lead my surgical teams to achieve a specific goal for our patients."
