IT Executive Interview Question:

Tell me about a time you were asked to perform a task or project you didn't understand?

This question is more appropriate for staff than leaders, but in both cases will help tease out how candidates act in unclear circumstances. Can they provide examples of how they asked for clarity or came up with a plan to identify missing information? Or do they sound like they spin their wheels until someone else intervenes?
