How well you get along with and adapt to other personalities speaks to your skills and emotional maturity as a professional. Being able to empathize with and actively listen to someone even when you disagree with them speaks to your communication skills and ability to navigate rough terrain. Showcase your ability to work with and learn from others when you may not wholeheartedly agree with their perspective or approach.

"One of my coworkers and I were doing a joint presentation for a prospective client. It was a high-stakes presentation, and he and I have very different styles of performance and preparation. Luckily, we both identified this as a potential obstacle from the get-go and came to the table with our ideas on how the outline would go and who would say what. Because we were both able to identify that we could clash and took a proactive approach to delegate tasks, we worked very well together and hit our performance out of the park."

"Recently, we received a project from a client that required my department to collaborate with another department. It was up to me to ensure that everyone worked smoothly together. The other departments' manager and I decided to start with a team-building night out, and that helped a lot. Once everyone found common ground, we could focus on the task at hand."
