Accenture strives to cultivate a "can-do" team mentality while inspiring innovation through collaboration. Their ideal candidate will exhibit leadership by stepping outside of their comfort zone. This requires diplomatic and nondefensive communication with a wide range of personalities. Investing the time to work with employees who take more effort to get on the same page makes for a much stronger team.
A functional team gets along with the different personalities that build up their team, regardless of demographic and background. This doesn't necessarily mean you agree with them on every issue. It means you can work well together and function as a team regardless of your differences. Showcase your ability to learn from and collaborate with others when you may not wholeheartedly agree with their perspective or approach. Detail your approach towards team collaborations.

"One of my coworkers and I were doing a joint presentation to a prospective client. It was a high-stakes presentation, and he and I have very different styles of performance and preparation. Luckily, we both identified this as a potential obstacle from the get-go and came to the table with our ideas on how the outline would go and who would say what. Because we were both able to identify that we could clash and took a proactive approach to delegate tasks and distribute the presentation, we worked very well together and hit our performance out of the park."

"Recently, we received a project from a client that required my department to collaborate with another department. It was up to me to ensure that everyone worked well together. The other department's manager and I decided to start with a team-building night out, and that helped a lot. Once everyone found common ground, we could focus on the task at hand."
