"My clinical supervisor once asked us to lead our teams in a direction that was not in alignment with the overall department's mission and values. As a results-oriented person, I typically switch into high gear to accomplish the work. When I gave it thought, I realized it was against our best interests and brought my concerns to the leadership team. Together, we formulated a plan to meet the objective and still behave by our vision and values."

How do you react when put in an uncomfortable situation or faced with a moral conundrum? This question is best answered by using an example. Be careful to not disclose any confidential information or say anything damaging about another person in the industry or another organization.

"Last year I discovered a colleague breaching confidentiality with a client. This particular case had multiple clients and the lines were sometimes difficult to draw. I approached my colleague and offered another solution, while suggesting they manage this client in a more professional manner. In the end, my colleague appreciated the feedback, and the concern was put to rest."
