QUESTION 30 OF 40

Do you think it is possible to be a good team member yet disagree with the leader?

The interviewer wants to know that you can be diplomatic in the workplace, even when disagreeing with your leader.

Show the interviewer that you can be a good team member yet disagree with the leader occasionally. Explain that you believe everyone is entitled to their professional opinion yet capable of simultaneously maintaining respect for each other.

Show that even if you disagree with the final decision they make, you support the direction the team is heading.

"It is possible to be a great team member, even when disagreeing with the leader. It's all in how you maintain respect for each other despite the difference in opinion."

"I believe that being a good team member is more about attitude than compatibility. You do not need to agree with everyone 100% of the time to be effective in your job. Plus, my team leader generally has a valid reason for their decision that comes with years of experience. So, it is an opportunity to learn from others' experiences, even if it was a different decision than I would have made."
