Q1. Tell me about yourself.

SUGGESTED ANSWER

“Sure, I’d be happy to share a situation where I had a conflict with a project team member. In my previous role at [previous or current company], I worked on a significant project where our team was tasked with launching a new marketing campaign within a tight deadline. One of my team members, responsible for the creative assets, had a very different vision from the rest of the team regarding the campaign’s direction. While the team had decided to follow a more traditional approach based on market research, this individual strongly advocated for a more experimental and unconventional route.

At first, the discussions became a bit tense, as there was a clear divide in opinion, and it started to slow down our progress. I understood that we couldn’t afford delays, so I decided to take the initiative to address the situation directly but diplomatically.

I approached the team member privately to have an open conversation. Instead of focusing on the disagreement, I started by acknowledging the value of their creative input and the thought they had put into their idea. I clarified that I wanted to understand their perspective more thoroughly before making decisions. We built mutual respect in the conversation by showing genuine curiosity about their vision and why they felt strongly about it.

After understanding their viewpoint, I suggested we meet with the rest of the team for a collaborative brainstorming session. In that session, I facilitated the discussion, ensuring everyone’s voice was heard. We evaluated both the creative idea and the more traditional approach against our project goals, timeline, and the needs of our target audience. We even conducted a quick survey to get feedback from a small focus group, which helped us make a data-driven decision.

Ultimately, we found a middle ground where we incorporated elements of the more experimental approach into the traditional framework. This compromise kept the campaign on brand while bringing fresh, creative aspects. The final result was not only successful in meeting our deadlines but also resonated well with our audience. The campaign saw a [mention any measurable results, e.g., a 15% increase in engagement] due to the creative twist we added.

What I took away from this experience is that conflict doesn’t have to be negative. It’s often an opportunity to explore different perspectives and improve the project’s outcome. By staying open, communicating clearly, and adopting an environment where everyone feels heard, I was able to turn a conflict into a productive collaboration. I believe problem-solving and team cohesion is essential, especially in a company like Disney, where creativity and collaboration are at the heart of everything.”

Q3. As a team leader, how would you implement a work plan?
