Strategy:

Template:

I want to share my biggest professional failure. In [Year/Previous Company], I was responsible for [a project]. I was overconfident and ignored advice from my team. I was sure I knew best. The project failed spectacularly, and it was 100% my fault. It was a humbling and painful experience, but it taught me the most important lesson of my career: leadership is about listening, not just directing. I carry that lesson with me every single day.
