This question falls under the Leadership Principle of Deliver Results; "Leaders focus on the key inputs for their business and deliver them with the right quality and in a timely fashion. Despite setbacks, they rise to the occasion and never settle." Jeff Bezos once said, "In the end, we are our choices."

"I'm often the first to step up when volunteers are being recruited for something. The more outside my comfort zone I am, the more likely I will step forward. On one such occasion, I quickly realized this fell a bit farther outside my scope than I'd previously realized. But I was committed. Very few of my peers were available to help, and only in the most limited capacity. So, for the most part, I was on my own. I had to be strategic in when and what I would lean on them for. I did most of the preparation on my own and approached the work in a way no one in our department had before. When I asked my peers to review my work, they had some minor course corrections but, for the most part, applauded me for my unique perspective and approach. I learned a lot about myself with this project and what I could do. But mostly, I learned how to rely on other members of my teams in new ways to maximize their cooperation. That's made the experience such a resounding success."
