Although this question may seem simple to answer, it tells your interviewer a lot about your ability to lead or work with others. It may be tempting to provide an answer that would lead your potential employer to believe that you are a natural leader and a team player, but the correct answer is “I am comfortable working within groups as well as on my own. Although I am well-versed when it comes to leading a team, I am just as capable of following any instructions that are provided to me.” This ensures your interviewer that you can work well in a wide variety of environments, but it also provides information about your preferences.
