Google Googleyness - Collaboration and Influence Without Authority

I noticed a major conflict between two teams delaying our project. I took the initiative to meet with both teams separately to understand their concerns. After gathering input, I facilitated a joint meeting where we collectively decided on a compromise solution. I then followed up regularly to ensure the agreement was upheld. As a result, the project got back on track and was delivered on time, improving overall team satisfaction. Which element of this answer is the disqualifier?

DThe project was delivered on time, improving team satisfaction

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify who initiated -- candidate self-initiated meetings -> We collectively decided on a compromise solution
Step 2: "We collectively decided" subtly dilutes individual leadership and ownership signal.
Step 3: Follow-up and results show strong execution and impact.
Step 4: The subtle disqualifier is the shared decision phrase, which weakens the influence without authority signal.
