Ask HN: How do you determine leadership qualities in an interview?
Usually, in behavioural questions, a candidate is asked about a time that x happened and how they reacted in order, or when they led a project in order to quantify leadership qualities.
Unless the candidate is really unprepared, most people would have read about these sort of questions and come up with some template answers. Now, it's up to the interviewer to ask further questions to get a better understanding but I'm wondering if people approach this in a different way.
As a side note, leadership qualities in my mind have nothing to do with seniority.
