The interviewer wants to know that you are methodical and structured when it comes to making large decisions. Walk them through the process you would typically take in this situation. Consider including an example of a time when you had to make a big decision and show how you successfully handled it.

Marcie Wilmot

"I recognize that bank managers need to be decisive. In order to be objective in all situations, whenever I have to make an important decision I follow a process that I have developed and honed over time. I start by making sure that I have defined the problem that needs to be solved or the decision that has to be made. I then go about gathering all the information I need, listing all the choices I could make, and then consider possible outcomes for each of them. I also think about the choices I have in terms of my values, feelings, and priorities. Sometimes I also list pros and cons and talk to people I trust to get their opinions as well. Ultimately, I choose the best alternative as I see it and then commit myself to that decision and move forward. I continually evaluate my progress and remain open to making changes in the future if needed or if circumstances change."
