The interviewer wants to know that you can maintain a harmonious relationship with those who are considered your leaders or project stakeholders, whether internal or external. Some basic ground rules for a stable working relationship with your directors are open communication, proactive listening, and not taking things personally when feedback arises. If your relationships in the past weren't fantastic, think of what efforts you took to make them better. Positively, discuss your approach to cultivating a healthy relationship with those you report to.

"My current director is a very particular individual. Over the years, I have taken the time to understand her preferences, her stress triggers, and what she enjoys seeing in my work. I find that if I stay one step ahead and maintain a positive attitude, we can work productively together."

"I find that maintaining good relationships comes naturally to me. I plan to show respect to my director and other stakeholders and maintain interest in their professional opinion. I will ask for feedback and to be observed and evaluated through all project stages. All of these factors culminate in a solid relationship based on mutual respect."

You do not want the interviewer to think that maintaining good relationships with those you work with is not a top priority for you. You want to avoid saying that it is the directors, the board, or other healthcare executives' responsibility to maintain a relationship with you. As a healthcare project manager, it is your responsibility to cultivate and maintain those relationships.
