One of the toughest parts of communication can be delivering bad news to people you work with and for whom you care. It doesn't come easy, whether it is providing a less than positive work review or terminating someone. Assure the interviewer that you can handle this task in a clear, concise, and professional manner.

"I certainly do not enjoy communicating bad news to a co-worker, but I do have experience in doing so. When this type of task is required of me, I make sure to practice empathy. Truth is always key, so I will be honest and clear when communicating the news. For instance, if I am to terminate someone's employment, I will not sugarcoat the reasons why. It's best they know so that they can learn from the experience."
