Personal AttributesLeadershipCore
Purpose
This question helps interviewers see what leadership traits you value, which often reflect your own values or aspirations. It also shows your ability to recognize and articulate positive qualities like integrity, empathy, and vision.
Tips
- Pick a specific leader you admire, whether they're famous or someone personal like a mentor.
- Focus on 2-3 key qualities of that leader and explain why you admire them.
- Use short examples or stories to illustrate each quality, making your answer more vivid and credible.
Common mistakes
- Avoid choosing a controversial figure or focusing on superficial traits like fame or power.
- Don't list too many qualities without depth; it's better to pick a few and give substance.
- Steer clear of glorifying a hard-driving style without acknowledging the importance of empathy and teamwork.
