"Last year, I was working on a data consolidation project for a roll out of a new software program we were developing. Because the project was working with several of our existing systems, I was coordinating with several different engineers from our staff that were experts on their respective systems. As the project was going along smoothly from the start, I wasn't getting a response from one of our engineers that had key information for me to move forward. With fully understanding that people are very busy in their day to day duties, I gave him three additional days to respond with no success. Once I didn't receive a response, I went directly to his office to speak directly to him. He immediately apologized for his delay and we spoke at great length about the information that I needed to move forward. I'm glad I took this direct approach in this situation and would never hesitate to do this moving forward in a tactful manner."

Last year, when I was taking a course on web programming, I had to work on a group project as a part of the course. We were a team of four people and had divided the work to be done at the beginning of the course itself. One of the team members used to show up for team meetings and take responsibility for the tasks, but always failed to submit on time. For the first two times, another teammate and I divided the work amongst ourselves, as the deadline was near. I then decided to gather courage and speak up to him in a calm way. I told him that if he was facing some issues, we could help him through that, but he needed to do some work to get credit. He told me how he was struggling with javascript and hence could not get the work done. In the next team meeting, all of us sat down and talked about our weak points and strategized on how to overcome them. We ended up receiving an A on the project.
