Problem

Tell me about an unpopular decision of yours. Briefly explain the context, why you made the decision, how you handled disagreement or resistance, and what happened afterward. I am interested in how you balanced competing viewpoints, communicated the rationale, accepted responsibility, and responded to the outcome. Use a specific example rather than describing your general leadership style. A strong answer should follow the STAR structure and include the decision's stakes, the actions you personally took, the measurable result where available, and what you learned.
