The true nature of this question aims to determine how easy you are to work with. Tension between coworkers can be draining, primarily in a high-stress work environment. Providing several examples of difficult co-workers you worked with could accidentally betray your narrative. They might wonder if the problem employee is you. So proceed with caution when navigating this question by providing an example that resulted in a positive outcome. Demonstrate your professionalism and compassion when workplace conflict arises while being able to non-defensively communicate with a wide range of personalities.

"My coworker and I disagreed with whether or not a policy was important or not. We worked in a very conservative corporate environment, and I felt the policy negatively affected some of our peers. Rather than letting it become a heated discussion, I took a breath and recognized that we might be interpreting the situation differently. Even though I felt strongly about my point, I felt it was more important to back down. You have to pick your battles, and my relationship with my coworkers is more important than being right."
