Win them over or work around
Winning a person over takes energy and does not always pay off. Think about a crew, committee or project group where you eventually had to choose between investing more in one difficult working relationship and quietly routing around it.
The two questions
- 1Tell us about a time you had to decide whether to keep trying to get through to someone you worked alongside or simply to work around them. What made you choose as you did?
- 2Describe the effect your choice had on the group and on that person, and what you would do differently now.
What raters look for
- Collaboration
- Works toward a shared goal, shares credit and load, and repairs friction inside a team.
- Communication
- Listens first, speaks clearly and respectfully, and adapts the message to the listener.
