"I feel confident in my ability to make decisions on my own in short order. However, I always prefer to use logical decision-making tools to ensure my decisions are the best possible solution for the business. If I do have to make a decision quickly, I determine what is urgent and important. Then I focus my decision on those two criteria. Last year, I supported the recruitment effort for five new salespeople to join our staff. Following the intake session, the hiring manager went on a sudden medical leave, and I still had some questions I wanted to have answered before posting the position on the sites and journals we had discussed. Knowing that times were tight for our entire sales management team, I went over my notes and dug up some sales figures on my own to use in our advertising to not delay any processes. When the hiring manager returned from his medical leave just four weeks later, he was pleased to find a stack of well-qualified candidates that I had prescreened."
