The missed deadline
You are a part-time office assistant at a small nonprofit that runs after-school programs.
Your manager asked you to submit a renewal form for a grant that funds a third of the programs. You forgot, and the funder's online portal closed at midnight last night. Your manager is at a conference until Friday and has not noticed. No one else knows.
The two questions
- 1What would you do?
- 2Describe a mistake you made that affected other people. How did you take responsibility?
