I am willing to take on responsibility, I am persuasive, and I can delegate. All these qualities make me a good leader. If a situation calls for someone to take charge, I will certainly step forward.
This interviewee states the qualities that make her a good leader but knows to tread lightly here. She wants to show she can evaluate the needs of each situation and step forward if necessary, while making it clear she’s a team player.
Never Say: “Yes. I like being in charge.” This candidate doesn’t tell the interviewer why she is qualified to lead, but sounds determined to take a leadership position no matter whom she steps on.
