Varun's response indicates a lack of recollection regarding how he ensured the technical team understood the business context and objectives, which suggests a missed opportunity to demonstrate his experience and leadership in this area. This is a significant concern, as it does not reflect well on his ability to communicate effectively with technical teams. The benchmark response provides a clear and structured approach to fostering collaboration and addressing misalignment, illustrating the importance of communication and shared understanding. For improvement, Varun should focus on preparing for questions about specific past experiences and be ready to discuss how he has effectively communicated business objectives to technical teams. Even if he cannot recall a specific example, he could discuss general strategies he employs in such situations.
