      Answer Example

      "Throughout my career, I've learned a lot about considering all perspectives before diving into problem-solving and coming up with a decision. I like to ensure I have all the necessary information and evaluate it from different perspectives to ensure I consider all viewpoints. I then like to run it by my team, because I know more brainpower only improves processes. After I have the team's input, I would double-check all my work and make a final, educated decision."
