At Aetna, we believe in transparency with our health insurance customers and our employees. Tell me about your leadership style in regards to transparency.

"I try to be a vulnerable leader at work. Openly discussing mistakes and errors teaches the team that it is ok to fail, but hopefully, we fail fast and then move on to solutions that work. Transparency leads to innovation."

"I start all of my team meetings with successes and failures, and everybody has a chance to say what is on their mind. This regular exercise gets the team comfortable talking about the things that aren't going well and are often hidden. We've been doing this for six months, and the room went from quiet to very enthusiastic and supportive."

The modern job seeker knows that employers make mistakes and are likely to forgive mistakes as long as there is transparency and ownership. Talk to your interviewer about ways you brought a transparent approach to your work, even when it may have been difficult.

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.
