Answering a Question About Acting Without Permission

In this mock interview with a candidate targeting a Senior Program Manager role we cover out on walking through situations where you (as a candidate) have acted without explicit permission. Sometimes this is necessary to move fast, and therefore show that you have a bias for action.

Question asked:
Tell me about a time you opted to beg for forgiveness rather than ask for permission.

The leadership principle at work here is Bias for Action.
