The interviewer wants to hear that you work for the betterment of the organization while respecting your company's leadership. Think about a time a decision was made that you disagreed with yet you had a positive reaction. Tell the interviewer the instructions you were given and explain why you disagreed with the instructions. Next, describe your positive response. Did you simply comply with the instructions because you wanted to respect your leadership team? Did you mention key information that the person may not have thought of before giving you the instructions that made the person change their mind? Be sure to mention that being a team player is key, and there are times when you just go with the flow of leadership's direction, and there are times when you need to speak up with key information that others may not have thought about.
