QUESTION 24 OF 25

What is your experience in managing a team? What is your leadership style?

Be honest about your experience managing and leading. Even if you only have experience from college or a previous job that was not related to vendor management, share your experience and strengths. An important aspect of leadership is the ability to be self-aware. The interviewer wants to gauge whether or not you have held a leadership role and what you have learned about yourself as a leader.

"In college, I held a leadership role within the business fraternity I was a part of. I led a team that planned and executed events on campus to recruit other members. We planned twelve successful events between my junior and senior year that led to an increase of 30 members. I leveraged real world opportunities and networking to engage others interested in a career in business. My leadership style is collaborative, and I maintain high expectations of others. I love working together and witnessing the power of different minds working together, but I also expected my team to do what they said they would do and perform in order to see growth. I held the team accountable and we were very successful; we all remain in touch to this day."
