Tell me about a time when you had to resolve a difficult conflict with a team member. How did you handle the situation?

During my previous role, there was a project where a team member and I had conflicting opinions on the best approach to take. This conflict was affecting our progress and team dynamics.

I decided to schedule a one-on-one meeting with the team member to discuss our differences calmly and openly. I made sure to listen actively to their perspective and concerns, and I shared my own views respectfully.

To resolve the conflict, we both agreed to compromise and combine elements from both approaches to come up with a mutually beneficial solution. I also emphasized the importance of communication and collaboration going forward to prevent similar conflicts.

By addressing the conflict directly and finding a solution through open communication and compromise, we were able to work together effectively and maintain a positive working relationship within the team.
