It is okay to brag a little when answering this question. Exhibit pride in your accomplishments. Align your answers with goals you've set for yourself, and how those accomplishments served as milestones towards your objectives. Your example doesn't necessarily have to be groundbreaking. Whether you formed a team for the first time and fostered a great sense of teamwork in a collaborative environment or developed a system that improved workflow and saved the company money, this question is about how you gauge success and what you bring to the table.
