Example Interview Answer

“I recently walked in on two people arguing at work, there was a big deadline due and everyone was feeling the pressure.

When I came into the room and asked both people to take a minute and to sit down. This automatically calmed the situation.

I asked each person to tell me their side of the story without the other person interrupting. In the end, both people wanted the same result, but we’re coming at from a different angle and didn’t realise the other person had the same goal.”
