"Currently, around half of my team consists of union employees, and the other half are non-union contracted workers. I find this staffing ratio a challenge because I spend a lot of time re-training new people or creating an air of enthusiasm and buy-in from people who are not a part of the union. To overcome this challenge, I have started building a library of resources that I refer to as the 'Online Learning Portal' where team members, both union and non-union, can familiarize themselves with our most common processes and best practices. This initiative has decreased the time I spend training new hires and has also increased everyone's understanding of the job, thus reducing human error and boosting team spirit."

"I believe that the most challenging aspect of being a leader in the healthcare industry will be effectively managing the large variety of personalities and vision of the internal and external stakeholders and healthcare executives. It takes time to get to know everyone, but I am confident that I can do it by being present, engaged, and taking the time to get to know my team and what their individual needs may be."

You want to avoid saying that you do not find any aspect of leading a team challenging. The interviewer will know you are not being truthful because all project managers find something that is challenging when managing a project and leading a team. Be sure that you name an aspect you find challenging and how you work through that challenge, making you a stronger leader.
