Supporting all team members to reach the goal we have set in place. If there is no clear leadership I have no problem stepping up to help the group come to decisions or mediate between group members to solve problems.

Hello!

On top of the insights already shared in the post, the "Integrated FIT guide for MBB" has been recently published in PrepLounge´s shop (https://www.preplounge.com/en/shop/tests-2/integrated-fit-guide-for-mbb-34)

It provides an end-to-end preparation for all three MBB interviews, tackling each firms particularities and combining key concepts review and a hands-on methodology. Following the book, the candidate will prepare his/her stories by practicing with over 50 real questions and leveraging special frameworks and worksheets that guide step-by-step, developed by the author and her experience as a Master in Management professor and coach. Finally, as further guidance, the guide encompasses over 20 examples from real candidates.

Feel free to PM me for disccount codes, since we still have some left from the launch!

Hi, i believe it depends on the type of project, but in the case the project belongs to my expertise I am going to answer this question with “the person that manage, organize and control the work in the team project”. I am the person with great overview and organizational skills that allow me to maintain a focus on both details and overall project

I am usually the person assigning roles and structuring the project so that we can work together more efficiently. I'd like to say I usually take the position of the leader because I like to provide with the best possible result, however I am also the mediator of the group.

I often go ahead and try to provide structure to my team. Also I try to integrate everyone and ask for their opinion

I usually take the position of a mediator. When I see a conflict, I don't shy away from actively speaking to all involved parties to overcome these issues.

I am the one who wants to hear everybody's opinion and ask questions even though they are simple, because I want to understand everything before we proceed with the process

Im Team nehme ich gerne die Rolle des Moderators oder Teamleiters ein. Dabei sehe ich es als sehr wichtig an, teils auch unvoreingenommen zu sein und zwischen Teammitgliedern zu vermitteln. Als Moderator sehe ich es als meine Aufgabe an für ein konstruktives Teamergebnis verantwortlich zu sein.

I am ready to take any role is most suitable for a given situation. I am ready to lead a team when the project is closer to my knowledge, or to follow a leader when someone else is more knowledgable of the specific area. Overall, i am a result oriented team player who likes to work with high standards and smart people and learn from them.
