Your interviewer is curious about how developed your communication skills are and whether you have issues with those in a position of authority. How you answer could additionally inform them of your leadership potential. Someone with highly developed communication skills will be able to adapt their communication style to that of someone who is less skilled in this regard. This role requires the ability to empathize, communicate non-defensively, actively listen, seek clarifiers, and mirror.
"Whenever I have had a supervisor who does not properly communicate with me, I first try to learn their communication style and emulate it. I also try to ask questions and document instructions in writing as much as possible to make sure I understand. I love that you describe your employees as passionate, ambitious, and talented, which makes me feel that everyone will make a tremendous effort to be clear when communicating for the good of the team."
"I try to be independent and find as many answers as possible on my own. As much as I would love to always work with supervisors who are great communicators, that is not always a realistic ask. I repeat instructions to verify that I'm hearing and interpreting what the supervisor wants. If I'm having trouble getting the information I need, I may also proactively schedule a meeting with my supervisor to discuss. I believe this approach would fit well within Vodafone's culture of trust, support, and consistency."
