"I don't perceive them as mutually exclusive. I work hard while evaluating Kaizen opportunities. Focus first on quality, then quantity. By the end, it should take me less time and effort to produce the same quality content in half the time."

Kevin Downey

"Any time I'm in a leadership role, I delegate the hard work to my team while I oversee the project and ensure all of my moving pieces are working smarter."

Kevin Downey

The interviewer is interested in your work style and ethic. Hard work can equate to putting in long hours. Working smart speaks to your ability to organize, prioritize, manage your time, and strategize your approach. Offer your insights on this topic. Working smarter helps with time management and reduces fatigue.
