For this episode, let's revisit a Case Interview & Management Consulting classic where we speak about leadership versus teamwork answers.

At its core, to McKinsey especially, leadership is about influencing a group people to undertake and complete an initiative of importance.

As a great team member, you do much of the work but you do not get the great. Ensure your teamwork and leadership stories cover this crucial distinction.
