Mckinsey Fishes: for the PEI portion of the interview, specifically for leadership dimension, what are your perspectives of having the story with multiple steps vs focusing on one instance of challenge instead? If my story is about an experience to lead a team to plan a conference, should I focus on one obstacle (ie venue changes) or the entire scope of the project (delegation of work, plus a couple of complications) even if some action steps are not obstacles

There’s no right or wrong answer, but I recommend starting with a brief overview of the situation and then drilling down on the instance that directly answers the question..

The questions will be somewhat targeted so highly recommend providing a targeted (and synthesized) answer to get to the point i.e the classic situation, complication and resolution framework..with an emphasis on the resolution
