## Resource

In this episode of Interview Prep with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna break down how to answer the classic behavioral question 'Tell me about a time you led a project.' They walk through a real candidate's story of leading a cross-functional team at a mid-size logistics company to roll out a new warehouse management system under a tight deadline. Lucas explains the STAR method applied specifically to leadership scenarios, emphasizing how to frame 'we' vs 'I', how to quantify impact, and how to handle a team member who wasn't pulling their weight. Luna pushes back on whether leading a project always means being the formal boss, and they discuss alternative examples for early-career candidates who haven't held a title. The episode includes a model response script and a common trap to avoid: taking sole credit when you need to show delegation. Perfect for anyone preparing for a management or project lead interview. #LeadershipProject #STARMethod #BehavioralInterview #ProjectManagement #CrossFunctional #WarehouseManagement #Delegation #TeamConflict #QuantifyResults #CareerAdvice #InterviewTips #JobSearch #ManagementInterview #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #InterviewPrep #Careers #JobHunt Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
