This question asks about the structure and functioning of the team and your role in developing and sustaining that team. You should try to give an example of a properly functioning team and your role in getting the team to that level. If you're a team member, talk about what you did within the team to contribute to the success. Consider an example from your background and professional experience and use the S-T-A-R approach whenever possible.

"When I joined my last company, my team was having daily status meetings that often lasted more than an hour. There was often no formal agenda, and team members usually spent the time complaining about something or someone. After a few weeks, I requested that we have 15-minute check-ins each morning and a one-hour weekly meeting on Wednesdays over lunch. Then I introduced the concept of spontaneous, daily standup meetings for any person on my team to call and lead during the week to solve any difficult problems. We were able to get the team working well together daily to the point that we were able to reduce the status meeting standup to once a week."
