The stability of the ions is determined by the energy of the lone pairs. Carbon has the least effective nuclear charge (Zeff) and so the lone pair on the CH3− ion has the highest energy, making it the least stable ion and so the strongest base. The Zeff increases as we move across the period until we get to fluorine which has the greatest Zeff and so its lone pairs have the lowest energy, making F− the least basic ion.

In order of decreasing basicity they are ranked LiCH3 > LiNH2 > LiOH > LiF. We are dealing with the ions F−, OH−, NH2− and CH3− and so the factor which influences their basicity is the stability of the ion compared to its conjugate acid.

It's important here to focus on the word "implemented". "There's nothing wrong with having a thousand great ideas, but if the only place they live is on your notepad what's the point? Better still you need a good ending. If your previous company took your advice and ended up going bankrupt, that's not such a great example either.Be prepared with a story about an idea of yours that was taken from idea to implementation and considered successful.
