The term "you're in charge of your own development" rings true here. The answer to this question isn't in providing a single example where you sought feedback, but in how frequently you do so. "Always ask questions" is solid leadership advice in this context. This is the moniker of a person whose norm is striving to go above and beyond. Checking in with your subordinates, making sure you identify growth opportunities, ingratiating them, and affirming your collaboration and that you don't have an elitist attitude can go a long way in establishing trust with those on your team.

"Whenever I'm learning something new, I always seek feedback. I've always been wary of presumption, which can often lead to rework. I find rework discouraging and I pride myself on being proactive in my work and having a positive outlook. So, I try to strike a balance. I don't just limit external input to one person, either. Everyone has something different to offer, so the more resources I can tap into, the better my work will be. I guess I've always chomped at the bit, per se. The sooner I can get versed in something, the sooner I can overachieve."
