Financial Administrator Question:
Tell me would you rather get permission from your boss before undertaking a brand-new project, or be given enough rope to “hang yourself”?
Answer:
During my first week on the job, I would ask my boss how she would prefer me to handle projects. If she indicated that she wanted a take-charge person under her, I would take the ropes. If she told me she wanted me to run ideas by her first, I would comply. I think the real challenge is being able to adapt to your work environment, and I’m flexible.
