Describe conflict where you yielded to others

Describe a time you had a conflict or strong disagreement at work, but ultimately decided to follow someone else’s approach instead of your own.

In your answer, explain:

• The situation : context, your role, and what the disagreement was about.
• Your proposal : what you initially wanted to do and why.
• Why you chose to support the other person’s approach in the end.
• The actions you took to align with the final decision and help it succeed.
• The result and what you learned about collaboration, influencing without authority, and being open to feedback.

Use a structured framework such as STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result), and highlight how you remained professional and constructive even when your idea was not chosen.
