The expression if you want something done right you have to do it yourself is often spoken by those whose communication skills fall short of delegating effectively. Being able to delegate to your team requires getting them invested in the work they'll perform and thereby motivated to perform at their best. It also requires playing on the unique strengths of each teammate, portraying the big picture, how each member's contributions to a team effort affect the others, and a clear understanding of the expectations and the stakes involved.

Yet, sometimes these lessons are hard-learned, and mistakes or miscalculations are made. Being able to admit to these occasions does not exhibit weakness, but rather strength of character, especially when you've learned from these lessons and applied them toward your success. No one can hold over you that which you already own. So share with your interviewer a time you ran into such issues, how you held yourself accountable, and how you repaired the mistake or reduced its negative impact.
