Fortell meg om en upopulær beslutning du tok og som du sto for.

Question

Accepted Answer

Dette tester **overbevisning med ydmykhet** — å ta en vanskelig avgjørelse av rett grunner, kommunisere den ærlig, og ta ansvar for resultatet. Ikke stivhet for stivhetens skyld.

## Hvordan tilnærme seg dette

```text
1. Explain the decision and why it was unpopular
2. Show the reasoning and the data behind it
3. Communicate it transparently — acknowledge the cost to others
4. Own the result, good or bad
```

## Praktisk eksempel

```text
S: I decided to delay a launch by three weeks to fix a security gap the team
   wanted to ship around.
T: The team was frustrated; the deadline was visible to leadership.
A: I laid out the breach risk in plain terms, took the heat with leadership
   myself, and committed to a concrete plan to close the gap fast.
R: We shipped securely; a pen-test later confirmed the gap would have been
   exploited. The team later agreed it was the right call.
```

## Godt versus svakt

```text
✓ Sound reasoning, transparent, owns the outcome
✗ "I was the boss so they had to"
✗ Caving the moment people pushed back

## Hvorfor det er viktig

Lederskap betyr noen ganger å velge det rette fremfor det populære.

Å forklare begrunnelsen og selv ta på deg varmen holder tilliten intakt selv når folk er uenige.

Å stå fast på en velgrunnlagt beslutning — og ta ansvar hvis den er feil — er det som bygger langsiktig kredibilitet.
