Responding to a conflict can be tough, especially in a team environment where you want to be sensitive not to step on any toes. However, if you are equipped with the right communication skills, this challenge is easily overcome. Share an example of a conflict that occurred within your department that you effectively resolved through your enhanced communication skills. Highlight your ability to mediate, negotiate, while exerting diplomacy. Explain the situation and how your actions resulted in a resolution or a compromise.

"My coworker was a great salesman but horrible at the administrative side. He made so many mistakes and didn't seem to care. It bothered me because I take such pride in the quality of my work. I decided to talk with him and found out that he wasn't very clear on expectations or how to do some of the basic aspects of the paperwork for each sale. He ended up getting some additional training to get on the same page as the rest of the team."

"In my current position there has been a concern with workplace bullying, and there are a particular group of individuals who 'lead the pack,' so to speak. The situation became out of control a few months ago, and I had to involve human resources as well as conduct a few exit interviews. It is never easy having to terminate employees; however, if they are causing conflict, it is always the best choice in the end."
