"In my last job, a huge restructure came down from the top. Everyone allowed their imagination to get the best of them. Several people started reading into the cryptic messaging behind the restructure, and many were considering looking for other jobs, thinking they were going to be laid off. I brought this to the attention of my supervisors and confirmed that this restructure was just a rebranding for the way we were conducting business. I spread the word, refocused everyone's attention on the end goal, dispelled their fears, and shut the rumor mill down."

Avoid describing situations in which the change affected you or your outlook negatively. You never want to sound like you were sowing dissent in the workplace or contributing to upheaval. So, provide an example of a situation in which you faced such a challenge. Explain how your course of action created positive insights toward the bigger picture and the end goal. Come across as a supporting influence for your employer.
