Interviewers want to know that you are capable of solving unique problems. If you aren't able to solve problems creatively and quickly, the executive staff has to get involved, which takes time away from managing the business at a high level. Knowing you can creatively solve problems gives the interviewer confidence that they won't need to micro-manage or handhold in complex situations.
