In looking for you to join the Uber team, your interview will be expecting that you can be the type of employee that leads by example through your actions. Whether it would be due to an overloaded work schedule or simply not caring, you may run into a colleague that doesn't want to do their fair share of the work. Your interviewer will be looking to hear that you are able to handle a situation like this with a direct approach. As well, they'll want to know that you can do so with respect and a forward vision for the overall good of the team. If you have an example of a time where you dealt with a colleague in a situation like this, don't hesitate to talk about how you handled it with ease and success.

"On any large project or working as part of a larger team, a true team effort is a must. Every person involved has a specific role to play. If a team member wasn't doing the necessary work or giving the necessary information, as a leader, I would first approach them directly in a one-on-one situation to reset my expectations for them as part of the team. I wouldn't place blame. I would listen to them and absorb what they were saying to me. Ultimately, I would stay positive. I'd stress just how critical their involvement in this team was, and that the team goes as the people driving it goes. If they lacked support in some way, then we would resolve that issue together."
