Dumb is the STAR answer, same as the question. I've been in this situation and such answer from management would just reaffirm that no one cares about me and that we are only good as long as we're bringing money to the company. What I would actually do is to listen long and carefully about the details and then see from there which side to take or who to speak with next, maybe to both. Asking people to give each other one more chance when the relationship is already broken is hard and complicated but it's better than acting that you only care about company's project.

These are all really good answers! Thank you.

Hi Richard, is "tell me about a time you resolved conflict in a team" strictly a question for team leader roles? Or can it be asked for an entry level candidate?

[adetolaabimbola]

This question was asked from my colleague yesterday.

[MANSANgaming]

how would you handle this situation?

You have asked one of your team members to prepare a report for a newly added requirement into your current project. Usually, he completes the task assigned to him on time with encouragement from you. However, this time his report is overdue.

4:46 Would the word "often" imply the issue was there for a while, i.e., it was not addressed immediately by you?

[mantan]

Please assist one the questions:- 1) How do you measure success for you as a leader?
2) How would you deliver the news or policies to the team which are not in their favor

[gladyspeng]

Thank you so much, may I know if you could guide us a video/ similar link about how to navigate challenges when working on projects which involve multiple cross-functional stakeholders? :)

What's a licensed and unlicensed personnel

[miaolingguo]

How would you answer 'tell me a time when you coordinate a group'? Is it similar to handling conflict in a group?

[Vostro]

That's not so "brilliant" answer if you manage your team members without authority over them. You can not threaten them sending away because they are not reporting to you. It would be nice if you come up with examples how to deal with conflict in the environment where one is just a servant leader, like Scrum Master.

i got nothing becouse of speedy way of speak

[RetroFrequency]

So the tip is to lie?

There's no way two people who are senior in their position and have a conflict will get along just because they're given the same project. A) That's children stuff. B) that was exactly what they were already doing, otherwise they wouldn't have been on the same team and got into a fight.
