Interviewer: Are you a leader or a follower?
Me: I think I am more of a follower, but I can lead if I need to.
Interviewer: Can you explain a little more, please?
Me: Sure. Well, if I am working with people who have more experience or who are natural leaders, then I feel very comfortable following them. I still speak my mind and share my opinion, but I'll let them take charge.
Interviewer: I see.
Me: But on the other hand, if there is a situation in which nobody is leading but a leader is required, then I will fill that role.
Interviewer: Why do you think that is the best way?
Me: I think that the most qualified person should be the leader. If I am the most qualified person, then I will be the leader, but I won't force my way into being the leader if I am not the best person for the job.
Interviewer: I think that is very reasonable.
