      Answer Example

      "When I've had to deliver bad news to my colleagues, I've found it comes across best when I'm thoughtful and caring but don't sugarcoat the news. That makes it more difficult for people to digest. Instead, I confidently convey the information and leave no room for interpretation. Once I deliver the news and explain the decision-making process, I typically ask the group for their thoughts, questions, or feedback. I think it's important for people to process the information and then help the team move forward."
