Problem

Scenario

You're driving an execution-critical initiative where a key decision will affect delivery timing, risk, and stakeholder expectations. You do not have direct authority over the teams or leaders involved, but you still need alignment to keep the work on track.

Question

Describe a time when you had to influence a decision without formal authority. How did you align stakeholders, handle trade-offs, and move the project forward?
