This essay is similar to the Haas "song" essay and other creative-style essays that NYU and Booth have used in the past. I'd recommend a combination of leadership and personal moments, so that the school gets a sense of who you are outside of the workplace as well as your achievements as a leader. Show a bit of your soft-side, but not totally.
For the song, there's no wrong answer here, but a song that is meaningful to you because of an event or person in your life might deliver more added value than inspiring but generic songs that others will likely choose (i.e. the theme from "Rocky"). When a school asks this kind of question, they're concerned with "fit", what you will add to the group, so the more unique and personal you are -- within the bounds of taste and relevance, of course -- the better.
Good luck!

Seeking help with this or that project writing has become incredibly difficult. The majority of people are unsure of what to do or how to approach this problem. To begin with, I am a student who also needs assistance with certain assignments. It's also cool for my friends to tell me that I can now contact people who may be able to support me with statistics project https://www.wiseessays.com/statistics-project . They assisted me with even my most difficult project, so I suggest that everyone be aware of the experts and contact them if they need assistance. I hope I've been of assistance; best wishes and continued improvement.
