7. Tell me about a time when your boss told you to do something that you disagreed with.
How to Answer
Give a straightforward and concise answer. Show how you would handle the situation and make sure that you add that you're capable of following orders that you don't agree with.
Answer Example
"I'll explain to the boss very quickly why I disagree with it, specifically regarding the negative impacts I think his or her decision will have. I'll provide an alternative. Once my boss understands those concerns, I'll send a follow-up email to make sure that he is 100% clear on my opinion and recommendations. I'll carry on with the orders that he decides. At the end of the day, I have to have faith that he has more information and experience to make a better decision than I can."
