Even if the position you are interviewing for does not require leadership skills, the interviewer wants to hear that you can take the lead and work well on a team. The interviewer might also be looking for a candidate with strong leadership skills to promote in the future. People with strong leadership skills tend to be more productive and reliable, so the interviewer can gauge what type of employee you will be based on your response. Describe your leadership skills using a workplace example in your response.

In your response to this question, avoid saying you do not have strong leadership skills. If you feel that you could improve on these skills, explain that you have fair leadership skills and are working to improve. If you are trying to improve your leadership skills, explain how.

"I feel my leadership skills are fair, but I am taking a leadership course right now to improve my skills. I have not had much experience leading a group of people in the past and would like to be promoted to superintendent in the next five years. For that reason, I enrolled in this course to gain experience so I can effectively move into a leadership position."
