Tell me about a time you received constructive criticism and how you responded.

Situation:
Early in my senior role, my manager pointed out that while my code quality was strong, I tended to take on too much work myself instead of delegating effectively.

Task:
I had to reflect on this feedback and improve my collaboration and mentoring approach.

Action:
I began conducting pair programming sessions with junior developers, assigning ownership of smaller modules, and focusing more on code reviews and guidance. I also attended a short leadership workshop to refine my communication skills.

Result:
Within two months, the team became more autonomous, sprint velocity improved, and my manager appreciated my growth as a technical mentor. That feedback ultimately helped me evolve into a better leader.
