Employers are always looking for individuals with leadership and conflict resolution skills. It's not uncommon for a team member to have difficulty working with a manager, so if you had an experience like this, you should share it. Just make sure to use the experience to showcase your ability to deal with conflict in a productive manner. Provide an honest and specific example if possible. Take this opportunity to emphasize the skills you possess that make you an ideal team player and potential leader.

"Our project team had a rocky start with a new project manager who was hired to replace our previous project manager. The new project manager had a very different personality than the previous project manager. He was gruff and uncommunicative. His management style was having a direct effect on the project quality and the team's productivity. I explained to the manager how we felt. I was surprised by his response. He explained that our project was months behind schedule and over budget. If things didn't turn around quickly, he, along with the rest of us, would likely be let go. He apologized for having been difficult but wanted me to know that he was stressed and felt that he was in a difficult situation. He then surprised me again by asking if I had any ideas to turn things around, build morale, and increase productivity. Even though the new project manager's personality didn't change much, I gained a new appreciation for why he acted the way he did. I even came to agree that maybe he was the type of manager that was needed to head our project.."
