Describe a work conflict with fair opposing views, clear decision criteria, personal action, and an accountable resolution rather than a one-sided victory story.
Describe a conflict at work and how you resolved it. Present the cause, your actions, and the result clearly before adding supporting detail.
### Constraints & Assumptions
Use a real professional disagreement and describe the other person's reasoning fairly. The report supplies the conflict prompt, not a candidate's story.
### Clarifying Questions
What shared goal was at stake? What did each side believe? What did you personally do? Did the resolution change your own position?
### What a Strong Answer Covers
Specific disagreement, listening, evidence or decision criteria, a resolution process, and the effect on the work and relationship.
### Follow-up Questions
What would the other person say about the situation? What remained unresolved? When would escalation have been appropriate?
