Heading into Administrative Fellowship training, you may be experiencing the first time during your short career that you will be working with very high level, and sometimes intimidating, leaders and physicians. Feeling intimidated is only natural in some situations. With this question, your interviewers will be looking to gauge your confidence in yourself and your abilities to work with any leader at their institution.

"As a person that prides myself on my open and honest lines of communication and knows that they are necessary for any workplace to function properly, I would hold these same communication values no matter who I would be communicating with as your Administrative Fellow. Whether I'm working closely with the CEO or an important department chief, I would rely on my ability to communicate clearly and wouldn't hesitate to be direct in our communications together."

As you answer this question, there are two distinct points that you want to make. First, you'll want to discuss your communication skills and your confidence in those skills in any situation. This will assure your interviewers that you will be able to effectively communicate with all leaders in this role. Then you'll want to discuss your ability to effectively work and communicate with any individual, no matter what position they are in. It's okay to recognize that you have been intimidated by communicating with people in the past, as long as you have the ability and maturity to communicate your way through the intimidation in a positive manner.
