QUESTION 28 OF 34

Do you think it is possible to be a good law enforcement officer, yet disagree with your Captain or Chief at times?

The interviewer wants to know that you are able to be diplomatic in the workplace, even when you may not agree with your leader.

Show the interviewer that it is definitely possible for you to be a good team member, yet disagree with the leader from time to time. Explain that you believe everyone is entitled to their own professional opinion, yet capable of maintaining respect for each other at the same time.

Show that even if you disagree with the final decision they make, you support the direction the team is heading.

"I absolutely think that it is possible to be a great team member, even when disagreeing with the leader. It's all in how you maintain respect for each other despite the difference in opinion."

Anonymous Answer

Absolutely, I'm entitled to my own opinions and beliefs, but as long as I remain open minded and respectful, that shouldn't be an issue .

Rachelle's Feedback

Great! You offer a positive approach. Do you have an example you could give, relating to a time when you disagreed but remained mindful and respectful? Consider offering answers that both 'show' and 'tell.'
