I love this question because it hits on my transformative leadership style. I inherited a new team member from another that was initially not easy to get along with. They had issues communicating with other teams. I met with this member weekly to discuss their progress to provide pointers and help them improve their communication skills by discussing what their preferred communication style is, and re-introducing the department's values and standards. After few weeks, the members was one of the top performer and was mentoring my other team members.

Awesome! This is a strong response. You use the STAR method (situation, task, action, result) successfully to explain how you positively influenced another person. Can you talk a bit more about what kinds of communication issues this person had? Also, what kind of pointers did you provide them? A few more details will be helpful. Otherwise, excellent job!
