Question

答：我制定规章禁止携带食品进入工作区，包括私人办公室，为了安全起见，工人不能带食物靠近昂贵的精密仪器。现在这已被遗忘了，但那段时期许多监管员对我生气。我认为这件事很重要而且解决方法也和其他新条例一样要坚续下去，如废除给高级职员分配车位的做法等。到目前为止，我们还能不断改进，使公司团结一致。

有时候重要的、长期的成果只需作出短期努力就能获得。这样的问题用来考察应试者对带有长期成果的重大价值作出判断的能力，如果你被问及这样的问题务必给出具体的例子。

Q:Describe a time you found it necessary to make an unpopular decision.

A:I had to start a policy of no food in work areas,including private offices,because the production workers were unhappy with the inequity.For safety reasons workers couldnt have food anywhere near expensive equipment.Now its forgotten,but at the time a number of supervisors were angry at me.I thought the matter was important and that the solution was consistent with other new policies,like doing away with assigned parking spaces for highlevel employees.So far we've been progressive enough to keep unions out of our company.
