Leadership skills are essential to nearly every career, but certain skills may be more helpful in specific situations. This question allows you to define good leadership in your own words. Showcase skills and qualities such as patience, active listening, empathy, positivity, reliability and team building. Example: “While communication skills like active listening and intentional body language help me to be a good leader, holding myself accountable is essential to lead by example. In my last position, we created a new dress code policy, and I was asked to enforce it as the supervisor. My approach was to discuss the new policy, clearly outline what new clothing items were acceptable and provide a deadline for when the policy went into full effect. I also listened to any concerns my team had about whether the new dress code would be comfortable enough to work in. At the next shift, I wore the new uniform to show my team what the appropriate dress code looked like and to demonstrate how it was more comfortable than the old uniform. As a result, my team felt more confident switching to the new policy, and the whole team began following the dress code before the deadline.”
