It is common for colleagues to dispute or disagree with someone they work with. The interviewers know this and want to see how you have handled disputes in the past. How you respond gives the interviewers insight into your problem-solving, communication, and conflict-resolution skills, which are essential in any profession.

"Over the years, I have found the involved parties can fix all conflicts with honest, open communication. When both parties can explain why they are bothered by something and decide how to handle the situation maturely, it seems less conflict will happen in the future. Most disagreements are simply a misunderstanding or lack of communication."
"I believe listening is one of the most important communication skills. When faced with a disagreement I listen to and try to fully comprehend what the other individual or party is trying to say before speaking or passing judgment. Careful listening demonstrates that you value others' opinions and often leads to conflict resolution, such as making a compromise."
