This question aims to assess your general attitude to your professional environment or your approach to your work. It tests your adaptability and flexibility. How you answer could inform the interviewer whether you are a half-glass-full or half-glass-empty person. One of Blue Origin's leadership principles says, "Leaders derive energy from pulling people together and moving in the same direction while leaving room for healthy tension and dissent. They recognize that skeptics productively lead them away from failure. They also recognize that cynics suck energy from the team like air from a vacuum chamber."

When it comes to change, I am all for it. In the military, change happened all the time, so I am easily adaptable. I am a positive person by nature and will focus on why it will work and why it is better than the old approach.
