"In my current position, I was asked to put together a team for a special client project. I was able to handpick the team members and organize the project execution. I chose my strongest employees in a variety of areas. In our initial meeting, I delegated the tasks while explaining my reasoning. This situation was a great opportunity for me to show each team member that I had the utmost confidence in their abilities. I played to their strengths and checked in with them regularly to offer support and ensure that we were on target. We delivered to our client on time and under budget."

"I was working on a response to an RFP on a job that required several adjustments to the standard equipment we'd typically use. While I am normally able to draw up the specs and estimate the work, I determined it made more sense to request the assistance of a mechanical engineer to validate the level of work required to make those adjustments.

I walked her through the details of the job and the basic changes that were required. I asked her to brainstorm a solution and provide me with the list of materials needed and then checked in with her along the way to offer assistance as needed. She knocked it out of the park and came up with several creative solutions that the client loved. I am grateful I delegated that aspect of the work to her as her inventive problem-solving went a long way toward helping us land the job."
