What do you consider your most powerful strength or asset? Describe a situation where you demonstrated this strength or asset?
I consider my determination to see things through as the most powerful strength. It is this perseverance and self-belief that enabled me to succeed in a long-term “university alliance” project at ABC.
The project involved setting up alliances with premier universities on a global scale and creating win-win relationships among all stakeholders – the Universities, ABC and other strategic partners. My strategy identified definite winning propositions with great potential. After a series of presentations, some key decision makers at ABC became increasingly clear on the positives. However, few others perceived it as an uncharted territory without any concrete return on investment and were unwilling to divert resources. The project seemed to be headed towards cancellation – we could miss the bus!
