Give me an example of when you proactively sought feedback.
"Whenever I am learning something new, I always seek feedback. I have always been wary of presumption and rework. I find rework discouraging, and I pride myself on enjoying my work and having a positive outlook. So I try to balance proactively seeking feedback and being self-sufficient. I don't just limit external input to one person either. Everyone has something different to offer, so the more resources I can tap into, the better my work will be. I guess I've always chomped at the bit, per se. The sooner I can get versed in something, the sooner I can overachieve."
The interviewer is interested in learning more about your approach to your work. They're curious if you frequently seek feedback, or you wait for others to come to you. Doing the basics of your job and assuming that no news is good news isn't necessarily a sign of leadership but a red flag of putting in the bare minimum. Your interviewer wants to know where you stand in this regard.
The term "you're in charge of your own development" rings true here. The appropriate answer to this question isn't in providing a single example where you proactively sought feedback, but in how frequently do you do so. "Always ask questions" is solid leadership advice in this context. This is the moniker of a person whose norm is striving to go above and beyond.
