"I had a large project last month that was nearly complete when the client called to say that the dimensions provided were incorrect. Because of this, our team had to redo the entire proposal. It took us an additional four days of work, but in the end, the client was delighted with our work, and it resulted in new opportunities with them."

"Last year, we saw new federal regulations that affected 80% of our ongoing projects. We had to adjust our plans quickly; however, we were able to deliver a timely product that met federal regulations."

"I was leading a team project in school, and there were eight of us contributing. We were near completion when one of our members confessed that they left out a chief component of their findings and resubmitted their work. This created a great deal of rework for the rest of us. Everyone grew visibly upset, and a few of them seemed like they wouldn't be able to get past this. But then I commanded everyone's attention, began delegating tasks to get everyone on track, and kept putting one foot in front of another. We delivered the project right in the nick of time. But more importantly, we adapted and worked together as a team, and that was our true success."
