Keep it high-level
Try this at your next interview
In an interview situation, you want to answer questions truthfully, but you also don’t want to give them too much. If an interviewer asks you how you would handle a specific situation, don’t roll out the big whiteboard and start mapping out a play. For one thing, it’s unnecessary. But more to the point, maybe they’ve already tried that approach and it didn’t work. And now they associate you with a thing that doesn’t work. BUZZ.
Instead, keep your answer high-level. Emphasize your leadership style and describe the *approach* you would take, not the exact steps. Now they understand more about who you are. The specifics of what you would do can come after you get the job.
