Resourcefulness is integral to leadership. They want to know how resourceful you are and whether you exhibit outside-of-the-box thinking, knowing where to look for the right information when the clock is ticking. Frame yourself as having a propensity to think fast on your feet. Exhibit determination. Demonstrate that you aren't easily discouraged. Meeting deadlines, over performing, learning, and innovating is the aim of the messaging in your example. Walk the interviewer through your process of seeking the relevant information you need to make that quick decision. Explain the steps to give the interviewer a clear picture of your thought process. Detail the situation, what inspired you to take the approach you took, and how you achieved a positive outcome. Where there is a will, there is a way, which is the attitude you want to convey.

"I have a pretty routine process I follow to make quick decisions. I weigh the pros and cons and come up with a solution that makes the most sense. Next, I ask the opinion of someone I trust to see what they think. Even though I trust my decision-making ability, I still think it's important to get a second opinion when it comes to situations involving money or if it could make a significant impact on others."

"I am an organized individual, so I do have a checklist that I follow for all policy related decisions and changes. If I do not have all necessary information, I can usually find it in our company resource database."
