Answer Example
"I show my cast mates the importance of communication through my willingness to ask questions if I do not understand the first time. I do not pretend to know something just to save face. By creating an environment where questions are encouraged, we have increased communication greatly, and have seen a great result because of it."

Experienced
"Many communication issues stem from a lack of understanding when it comes to the end goal. When we have a dispute, I work with my team to explore other alternatives. We often role play and discuss ways that we could have reacted better. This practice has greatly improved our practices and performances."
