When cooperating with groups of people from different backgrounds with various work styles, conflict can arise. You want to give the interviewer a sense of how you handle issues around conflict, and providing a story-based example is an effective way to achieve this goal. Think of an example of when your team experienced a conflict. Explain what happened and how you helped the team come to a resolution. This example should show how you took initiative to solve an immediate problem and prevent a greater issue that could have impacted your team and employer.

"Last month, two of my team members were in a feud over a POS process that they were both misinterpreting. Normally, I do not get involved in the smaller conflicts as I believe that grown adults can iron things out without mediation, for the most part. This event was different. I called a meeting between the three of us and let them know they were both incorrect. They were a bit embarrassed about the whole event and allowed me to re-train them in the process, the correct way."
