参考答案
In 2023, my department needed to increase the core product's monthly active users by 40% within only 6 months. The biggest challenges were low team morale (previous leader left + layoff shadow) and severe technical debt. I first organized an all-hands 'goal co-creation workshop' where everyone helped break down the goal and claim key milestones, enhancing ownership. Second, I created a 'Weekly Wins Wall' to publicly recognize small victories and contributors every week. Third, I personally led the team to tackle the most difficult technical debt module, providing technical demonstrations and rebuilding confidence. We ultimately achieved the goal two months early with 47% MAU growth. This experience taught me that clear co-created vision + visible quick wins + leader leading by example is the most powerful combination for leading teams through adversity.
