Mastering Leadership Interviews

One strategy is to think of a **similar situation** you have experienced in the past and how you handled it. Even if the circumstances aren't exactly the same, you may be able to draw upon some of the same leadership skills or strategies that the current question is assessing.

Another approach is to ask interviewers if you should explain how would you approach a **hypothetical situation**. That would turn the question a situational one rather than a behavioral one, but it still can be valuable for interviewers.  This can also help demonstrate your thought process and critical thinking skills, which are important qualities for a leader.

Don't panic if you encounter a leadership question that you don't have the perfect answer to; leadership is about being resourceful and adaptable.
