My answer (summarised): • Re-align priorities transparently so the team helps set the cut-line, not just receive it. • Keep feedback fast and two-way: weekly retro to surface blockers early, celebrate honest escalation, and adjust scope before burnout hits. Multiple interviewers circled back to this theme. The question itself signalled a workplace where "reactive mode" could be the default, so weigh that carefully if you value stability and long-term planning. Half-finished projects must have stung recently.
