你没准备，应变到这种程度真不错

两个建议。

第三，不管平时老板是不是喜欢更听话的，面试时候还是希望纳贤，既然问你怎么做，起码先努力争取一下：First, I would make sure that I've done all of my homework to show that I understand how my approach would fit into the operation at large. Next, I would try to walk him through the trade-offs, both good and bad. I might try to run a small, contained experiment to see if the strategy could work in this environment.....

第七，避开所有否定的字和词，平时也尽量不直接说No. 按你的意思，可以这么回答：Well, I used to try to do everything myself. But as I worked in more senior roles, I've learned that a good manager needs to leverage her team and bring out the best in them.

你申请什么工作？工作性质不同，面试的回答不一样。我以前会同意你说的第八，现在的工作，永远不说“没办法”。都说可以，互换条件不同，让用户平衡选择。
