QUESTION 9 OF 25

Have you ever met resistance when implementing a new idea or policy to a workgroup? How did you deal with it? What happened?

This question is similar to 'Tell me about a time when you and your previous supervisor disagreed, but you still found a way to get your point across.'. It is not unusual for interviewers to ask several questions about the same topic. This enables them to calibrate your answers to ensure that you are consistent throughout the interview. Answering truthfully and taking brief notes during the interview will help you achieve this. Practicing these questions also helps you to better prepare and be consistent throughout the interview.

"It is unusual, but sometimes I do encounter resistance when trying to implement new policies to the workgroups I manage. When this occurs, I gather evidence supporting my recommendation. I also perform a cost-benefit analysis to demonstrate the effectiveness of my recommendations. This usually overcomes the resistance and allows us to move forward with the updates with everyone being on the same page."
