The Essay Question reads as follows....
You have a new manager who has just joined your organization. As a part of the handover, the outgoing manager is describing each person reporting to him. How do you think the outgoing manager will describe you to the incoming manager?
My idea of answering the above question is based on its different aspects....viz., professional, personal, being a team player, extra-curricluars to support my work-life balance etc. Doing so, I believe that I would get a chance to include most part of myself as I am.
But when I look back at the structure of my answer, it looks so generic and it is hardly impressive (atleast at this point in time)
Ex: The professional Aspects of my answer include my hardworking nature, never-say-die attitude etc....
Is there anything that I am missing here ? Is there anything that ISB is looking for beyond the generic things ?
If not, How about supporting things with examples ?
Any guidance is valuable here.
Thanks in Adv,

You're right. The danger with this question is that you create a laundry list. Don't do that. Refer back to your positioning statement (this is the general story and group of characteristics that you want the adcom to remember about you). Choose a few points that you want to make in this essay, and then illustrate these points with a story.
This essay is really, "What do you want the adcom to know about you, particularly about you in the work place?" The manager part just adds some interest to it, and probably makes it easier to write.
