At my previous work, I had the idea to dedicate a few hours on Fridays to reviewing our efficiency. Our workload was lighter on Fridays anyway, so we were able to spend some time improving our work. I also implemented a cross-training program, which is still in practice. I was very interested in improving training, accountability, and efficiency if someone was absent (especially on the payroll side).

As a Controller and a senior level manager's, I'm in a position to not only have ideas, but to implement my ideas. On the flip side, I have to remain open to hear my employees ideas as well and to evaluate and implement new practices as well. I have found that listening to employees ideas and trying them ( if realistic), helps build morale, and cohesiveness within the office environment.

It's important here to focus on the word implemented. There's nothing wrong with having a lot of ideas, but they need to be vocalized. Be prepared with a story about an idea of yours that was take from idea to implementation and considered successful.
This is always a good question to showcase a person's thought process and ability to work with others.
