Since everyone's work style is unique, it can be challenging to collaborate with everyone 100% of the time. Your interviewer wants assurance that you would join Boeing as the ultimate team player, regardless of personality or work style differences that you would face on the job.

The goal of your response is to describe your approach to collaborating with others while highlighting how your collaboration style will be a good match for this team at Boeing. Tell the interviewer about a specific time you worked with someone who approached their tasks or communication style differently than you. Outline the situation and describe why it was a challenge to collaborate with this person. Describe the specific actions you took to ensure a successful collaboration and the results of the collaboration.

"In my current organization, I work closely with a person from our finance team who has a different work style than me. As I am a big-picture and idea-oriented person, her planned and detail-oriented approach made it difficult to propose capital project funding at times. I had to adapt my approach to outlining my planning and projected funding for new projects. I spent extra time in my research to ensure that no rework ever needed to happen with capital budget proposals, and we had a great working relationship because of my ability to adapt my style."
