How would you handle an issue with a policy or procedure?

"I would first talk with my manager to make sure I understood the expectation correctly. It could be that I was interpreting it wrong or that there was some miscommunication. If I still had an issue, I would take some time to think about how I can deal with it. I've learned to pick my battles and to be adaptable as much as I can."

"I know well enough at this point in my career that policies and procedures are in place for a reason. If I truly don't understand the reasoning behind the policy, I will ask for further clarification in a respectful and open-minded way."

The interviewer wants to hear how you will respond when you disagree with the way something is handled or executed. Emphasize your ability to 'go with the flow' and adapt when top-down changes are put into effect. Give an example of a time that you've done just that if you can think of one.
