Too much of a good thing
A strength can become a problem when it is overused: confidence can turn into not listening, and being helpful can turn into taking over.
The two questions
- 1Tell us about a time one of your strengths caused a problem for you or for someone else. What happened?
- 2How did you come to see your part in it, and what do you do now to keep that strength in check?
What raters look for
- Self-awareness
- Recognizes own biases, limits and emotions, and seeks and uses feedback.
- Collaboration
- Works toward a shared goal, shares credit and load, and repairs friction inside a team.
