If there are aspects of your work style that coworkers have adopted, focus on that as well. Highlight your strengths, your flexibility, and that you are easy to work with.

This question also evaluates how well you'll perform under stress and how you prioritize the needs of the team over your own. It also examines the level of respect you hold for those in positions of authority and your communication skills. Formulate an answer that conveys your scope of the big-picture and what it takes to support the vision of your leaders. When a communication breakdown occurs, share how you strive to bridge that gap.

Objectify the situation, exhibiting an emotionally mature perspective, and how you navigated this terrain, leading to a successful resolution.
