"I like to gather as much information as possible to aid in my decision, but I also consider how much time is available to me. Editors are often under strict deadlines and need to make decisions quickly, even if all the information can't be gathered, so I weigh time versus information. Then I looked at possible outcomes and the likely results of my decisions and made the best choice for my team and organization. At my last job, I led an important writing and editing assignment for a media client, and two team members quit the company midway through the project. This happened just minutes before our scheduled weekly call with the client, so I had to think quickly and use problem-solving skills and communication skills to inform the client what had happened and create a plan to proceed with the project. In the end, the client was okay with the situation and liked my decision and plan to move forward. I think my decision to go into the call with confidence even though I had been caught off-guard by the situation is what helped. Also, my transparency and clear communication with the client maintained their trust and strengthened our relationship."
