The Challenge: Influence Without Authority

The interviewer asks: 'Describe a time you had to lead or influence a change when you weren't the decision-maker or the manager.'

Core questions to address:

  1. What was the situation and who actually held the authority?
  2. How did you build the case and bring people along?
  3. What was the outcome, and what does it say about how you work?
