a new project, and several other team members were expressing concerns about the

responses.

This team member used open-ended questions to clarify their colleagues' concerns
and make sure they fully understood their points of view. They also para phrased
what their colleagues were saying to show that they were actively listening and
taking their concerns seriously.

As a result of this team member's excellent listening skills, the team was able to have

team members, and ultimately led to a more successful project outcome.

complications. Agree to find a solution, work to understand the perspective of
everyone involved, take note of what triggered the conflict , identify the
opportunity for compromise, agree on a plan for resolution, check in to make sure
the agreement in lasting.
 Example: I remember when was leading project before, and one technician was
constantly late finishing tasks. When I approached him about it, he reacted
defensively. I kept calm and acknowledged that the deadlines were challenging
and asked how I could assist him in improving his performance. He calmed down
and told me that he was involved in another project where he had to do tasks that
were not in his job description. After a meeting with the other project manager,
we came to a resolution that alleviated the technician’s workload. For the
remainder of the project, the technician delivered great work.

7- Describe a situation where you went above and beyond to support a

colleague or contribute to the success of a team?

I remember that, I noticed my manager didn't complete most of the staff

schedules for the following weeks. My manager normally completes them on
time, but he had been working on several other urgent projects. Rather than add
to his burden by complaining, I offered to help him with some of his workloads so
he could complete the schedule. We worked overtime hours for a week, and I
helped him catch up on everything while learning new skills. I am always ready to
go above and beyond to help a colleague or manager with tasks and projects.

project in college. Our task was to design a sustainable and cost-effective packaging
solution for a local food company. We were struggling to come up with a unique and
practical design that met all the requirements. After brainstorming for hours, I had an
idea to use biodegradable materials and incorporate a fun and interactive element to
the packaging. I suggested using seed paper, which is made from recycled materials
and embedded with seeds that can be planted after use. This not only solved the
sustainability issue but also added a fun and memorable aspect to the packaging. My
team loved the idea and we ended up winning the project.

level direction. We all together were in an GCC, all bits and pieces had to come together for
a successful project and good ranking.

Problem: The team was very diverse in skills, age, seniority, culture. Also the outcome is not set
in the project and you need to stay flexible. This was especially seen in communications and
expectations. I had to manage those separately while keeping the main goal in mind.

Action: We had a rough project and budget plan, I asked for expectations and input, merged
this into a detailed plan with ambitious goals, communicated it continuously and concise. I
gave everyone room for their tasks while giving enough guideline to meet the end goal, I
gave public credit to all members in the consortium which they very much appreciated
because they benefit from public appearance too. With managing the resources carefully, I
could fill in the gaps where needed, pushing for better results.

Result: We manage to go beyond expectations, won a price for one of the best IT projects in
the region. Overall, this job drew my attention to differences in the team which is also now
very valuable working with a international team.

14- What actions did you take to ensure a smooth process?

 Identify the critical areas: First, go back to your original drawing board. How many
of your mission-critical processes have you identified to date? Do you have
successful policies or procedures in place already? Be sure that you have focused
your initial attention on the areas of your business that will provide you the biggest
bang for the buck. If you haven’t, then pick out two or three to focus on in the
upcoming months.

 Flowchart processes: For each mission-critical process that you identify, you need
to recognize what the “best” way is to get that process done. Every person on your
business team needs to complete that process in the same way.

way to do that is to create a how-to procedures manual or video for each task you

measurements that will give you a benchmark of the success of your business on a

it’s going to change. Be prepared to institute new processes or adjust how processes
are handled whenever the need arises. And most importantly, be sure to check in on
your team members to ensure that systems and processes are functioning smoothly.
Quarterly reports are a great way to do this, and you can make changes as
necessary based on the information you gain during these reviews.

the decision-making process?

I had to manage a 20% departmental budget cut that put a significant amount of
stress on my staff. I knew that I needed to maintain staff salaries and keep our
core functions running, and we would have to sacrifice some projects to meet
budgetary guidelines. I did an internal audit of our most popular free programs
and eliminated the ones with the lowest engagement to allow us to spend less on
resources while maintaining our impact. I also talked to my team about where
they saw the most financial waste in our department.We were able to avoid
layoffs and contribute our efforts to new digital initiatives once we started to focus
on our core function instead of misdirecting time and resources to unpopular
programs. That situation taught me to be decisive and confident while focusing

competitors were working on a similar game, and my goal was to ensure that we release
the game before they do. It was a tricky situation, because we had a small team of
programmers, much smaller than they had, and we were behind them at the start of the
development. But I applied agile project management, and motivated people to work 60+
hours each week. We were a small team, but I made people passion for the project, and for
the proposition of beating a bigger company in both speed and quality. I was
balancing on a thin ice though, because I did not want my people to experience burnout,
and we were working under pressure to meet this deadline. But eventually we managed to
get the job done, and released the game before our competitor.

project with another team and we found there was a lot of duplicate work being
done.By scheduling a weekly standup and keeping open lines of honest
communication with our teams and managers, we pushed the project forward
and ended up moving the needle on a company goal in a big way.

do too much myself and I ended up getting overwhelmed. This caused me to miss a few
deadlines and it also put a lot of stress on my team.

tasks effectively and to trust my team members to do their jobs. I also learned that it's
important to take breaks and to ask for help when I need it."
