There is a saying that attitude is more important than facts, the past, a person's education, money, circumstances, failures, and successes. It is also more important than what other people think, say, or do. It's more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. And that it will make or break a company or home. The only thing we can do is play the one thing we have, and that's our attitude. In a team environment, the right attitude can go a long way. Focus on the collaboration involved in teamwork. The old adage, "There is no 'I' in team," should be driven home in your answer. Treating the members of your teams with dignity, respect, and recognizing and rewarding their efforts is paramount.

"Our company had an 'opportunity buy' for a great product. This was a one-time featured product. It was our aim to push this item and boost our sales company-wide. The product was underperforming. I stepped in and identified a missed opportunity in the display and branding of this item. By reinventing the display and the branding of our signage, our region sold out. Soon we requested more of the product from our other regions. At first, they were happy to unload it until they studied what we were doing and borrowed our methods. Within a week, the item was out of stock and I gained the attention of our super-regional manager, who expressed gratitude for my hard work."
