Not everyone sees eye-to-eye in every situation. The same can be said with an employee and their boss. An interviewer wants to understand how you overcome a challenge like this. Explain how you are upfront with your boss when things like this arise.

"I had a time, with a boss years ago, where there was a frustrating conversation. I thought one way about how to handle school protocol compared to what the administration was doing. My boss heard me, while we kept the conversation calm and to the point. Ultimately, the protocol did not change. But, I still respected my boss because they were willing to have a heart-to-heart with me."
