"I get a little stressed when I feel like communication breaks down. I need everyone on the same page. Unnecessary rework is one of my main pet peeves. A team can avoid this through functional communication. Whenever someone is not a skilled communicator and thinks they are communicating clearly because the way they're saying things makes sense to them, I worry they don't grasp the big-picture view. I'm a big-picture person. I can't help it."

This question tests your emotional intelligence, how you navigate situations that trigger your stress, and how your stress impacts your performance. Avoid any examples where your stress dictates your behavior. It's fine to experience stress, as long as you have control, regulate your emotions, and have governance over your responses. Experiencing anxiety resulting from poor communication, a lack of leadership, or disorganization are reasonable anxieties and are even better when you take action to remedy them. Share how you confront your stress and proactively address the situation while exhibiting a high EQ.
