Avoid This
Avoid instances where you thought you could do a better job than other members of your team and took action based on that premise. Avoid taking credit for other's accomplishments, or describing team efforts rather than focussing on your individual success.

Answer Example
Our company had an 'opportunity buy' for a great product. This was a onetime featured product. It was our aim to push this item and boost our sales company wide. The product was underperforming. I stepped in and identified a missed opportunity in the display and branding of this item. By reinventing the display and the branding of our signage, our location sold out. Soon we requested more of the product from our other locations. At first, they were happy to unload it until they studied what we were doing and borrowed our methods. Within a week, the item was out of stock and I gained the attention of our regional who expressed gratitude for my hard work.
