Becton, Dickinson and Company is a global medical technology company engaged principally in the development, manufacture, and sale of medical devices. Being on the leading edge often means decisions have to be made quickly and without all the necessary information.
The interviewer wants to know that you can gather all the information possible, make educated guesses, and acknowledge when you made a mistake and course correct. Demonstrate that you are confident enough in your abilities to make a good decision without all pieces of the problem being present and flexible enough to maneuver as you receive more pertinent or game-changing information.

"I first gather all the facts and data available. I like to speak with others on the front line and in my leadership circle, if I have time, to get their opinion and feedback on the situation so I don't miss any perspectives before making a decision. I weigh the pros and cons and carefully consider how each decision would impact others."

"I am a strong believer in following my gut; for the most part, it has not steered me wrong. I try to gather as much information as possible, but when all the pieces are not accessible, I assess the situation using my prior knowledge of similar situations and follow my intuition. If I'm not certain or feel conflicted, I don't hesitate to bring in another person or persons to help me come to the best, most effective decision."
