Whenever you're ready, walk me through how you'd approach this.

Problem

Describe a time you failed, a time you inspired a team, and a time you received negative feedback you disagreed with. Be prepared to discuss the context, your specific actions, the outcomes, and what you learned in each case. Use real examples and distinguish your individual contribution from the team's work. The interviewer is assessing ownership, leadership, self-awareness, resilience, and your ability to respond constructively when your perspective differs from someone else's.
