Tell me about a time you disagreed with a decision

medium~30 min#behavioral#conflict#star

Tell me about a time you disagreed with a decision your team or manager made.

What the interviewer is actually assessing: whether you raise disagreement through the right channel, whether you can be persuaded, and what you do once the decision goes against you. A story where you were right and everyone else came around is the weakest version of this answer — it tests nothing.

Write it as STAR in the story bank, then get it reviewed.

Solution

This one has no written solution — the answer is your own story or your own submission.

The follow-up they will ask

What if you had been proven right afterwards — how would you have raised it then?
