Avoid negatives when talking about the person you choose as the subject of your answer. Avoid situations lacking a positive resolution. This is an opportunity to reveal how skilled you are at non-defensive communication. It also reveals how you handle yourself in difficult situations and how you approach conflict resolution.

I one time had an employee that started having outbursts on the floor, visibly upset when little things went wrong. After 3 days of this, I pulled the employee off the floor. I learned a member of their family member was unwell. I told them about our employee resources. After they started speaking to employee assistance and getting the help they needed, their conduct returned to being professional.
