This question aims to reveal more about your work style and how you approach taking calculated risks. How you answer could inform them whether you will be an asset or a liability. On one hand, taking a gamble could cost the company or endanger others. On the other hand, not taking any action at all could have the same negative impact as exhibiting risky behavior. So share your approach to gathering as much information as you can, tapping into the resources of the other members of your team, and the steps you take to ensure you have enough information to proceed with caution, maximizing your success with minimizing any risk.
