When providing feedback to a team member, I typically:

Keep it short and to the point—no need for unnecessary details.

Offer constructive insights with clear examples to help them improve.

Say something encouraging but avoid deeper discussion to prevent discomfort.

4

During team meetings, my approach to contributing is:

I chime in when I feel strongly about something but otherwise stay in the background.

I actively engage, listen, and ensure my points drive the discussion forward.

I prefer to listen rather than speak, especially if others have stronger opinions.

5

How do you respond to constructive criticism?

I reflect on the feedback and use it to refine my approach.

I take it into account but sometimes feel defensive at first.

I find it difficult to accept and often question if it was necessary.

6

When making a decision that’s unpopular but aligns with my values, I:

Trust my instincts and stand by my choice, even if it’s tough

Prefer to avoid rocking the boat and go along with what others expect.

Weigh my values but consider adapting to fit the majority’s preference.

7

If I realize I’ve made a mistake at work, I:

Acknowledge it if necessary but try to downplay its impact.

Address it, take ownership, and ensure it’s corrected quickly.

Hope it goes unnoticed and move on.

8

My leadership style is best described as:

Carefully curated to fit expectations—I focus on how I’m perceived.

Open and aligned with my values, even in challenging situations.

Adaptable—I balance authenticity with what the situation requires.

9

When kicking off a new project, my first step is to:

Start with clear goals, a structured plan, and defined deadlines.

Get a general sense of direction and adjust as I go.

Jump in and figure things out along the way.

10

When an unexpected obstacle arises mid-project, I:

Find it overwhelming and struggle to regain momentum.

Reevaluate, adjust my approach, and move forward efficiently.

Feel frustrated but work through it, even if it slows progress.

11

How do you prioritize multiple competing deadlines?

I try to juggle everything but sometimes get caught up in urgency over strategy.

I take things as they come and hope for the best.

I create a plan, tackle high-impact tasks first, and delegate when possible.

12

When faced with a high-stakes decision, I:

Analyze the situation, make a call, and take responsibility for the outcome.

Gather as much input as possible before deciding, even if it takes time.

Feel paralyzed by the risk and try to delay making the decision.

13

If a decision I made leads to negative results, I:

Acknowledge it but tend to dwell on what I could have done differently.

Avoid discussing it and hope it fades from memory.

Own up to it, analyze what went wrong, and use it as a learning experience.

14

In fast-moving situations, my decision-making style is:

I assess key facts, trust my instincts, and act swiftly.

I prefer to take my time, even if that means missing quick opportunities.

I hesitate and wait for others to take the lead.

15

When unexpected changes occur at work, I:

Feel resistant and prefer sticking to familiar routines.

Embrace them as opportunities for growth and innovation.

Adjust when needed but prefer stability.

16

If I need to learn a new skill for my role, I:

Seek out resources and enjoy expanding my knowledge.

Learn only what’s necessary but don’t actively seek more.

Feel resistant and try to avoid it unless absolutely required.

17

How do you approach working with people who have very different perspectives?

I try to collaborate but sometimes struggle with opposing viewpoints.

I see it as a valuable learning opportunity and engage in open discussions.

I find it frustrating and prefer working with like-minded individuals.
