Recently I had a job interview at APCO in DC. The first interview was cancelled an hour before the interview was suppose to be held. I then rescheduled with the senior recruiter the following week via Zoom. The senior recruiter did not make it to the interview and her intern was trying to keep me on the phone for 15 mins out of the 30 minute interview apologizing on APCO’s behalf. The senior recruiter followed up with me and left a very insincere apology voicemail. I guess APCO is not for me.

I'm trying to frame my answer to the leadership question. I once talked to my mom about how I was selected as CEO in a group project. It was because of my strong technical skills+connections(I already know 80% of the group)+activeness. My mom said that's exactly what she values in the professional setting. Can I answer the question in this way during interviews? I feel like it's not the common approach since this answer does not involve any specific actions, but could potentially stand out.
