Leadership is a competency employers look for in candidates who are applying for jobs that require them to lead, motivate and/or develop other people, usually team leader and management positions (or trainee positions that lead to management positions).
Examples of competency questions that are used to evaluate leadership skills are:- Describe a time when you had to lead a group to achieve an objective.
- Describe a work based situation where you had to lead by example to achieve an objective.
- Describe a situation where you inspired others to meet a common goal.
- How do you motivate team members to do something they decide they do not want to do?
