Give a recent example, the explicit trade-offs you made, and what you learned. (4) Tell me about a time you went above and beyond for customers to drive a change but your effort failed. What did you try, how did you measure impact, and what you learned. (5) What was the most effective team you’ve been on? What made it effective, what behaviors or rituals sustained it, and what qualities you personally contributed.
