Tell me about a time you had to support a decision you didn't agree with. (flexibility)

Give me an example of a time you had a miscommunication with a co-worker. (communication/collaboration)

Tell me about a time when you were late to work. What did you do? (reliablity)

Hi Jeffrey!

1. Communication

Describe a time when your ability to communicate effectively in a highly sensitive situation helped to produce a successful outcome?

Probing Questions

• What was the situation and what made it sensitive?

• What aspects of your communication did you focus on to help produce a positive outcome?

• What was the outcome?

2.  Flexibility

Describe a time when you sought an alternative approach in a situation where the usual approach was not working.

Probing Questions

• How was the usual approach not effective in this case?

• How did you adapt your approach or implement a new approach?

• Were you successful in addressing the situation in this way?

• What was the final outcome?

I love this question - and would highly recommend ensuring these questions are tied to your DEFINED Keys to Success within your culture (no more trusting your gut!).

Ex. If company values Customer Service. 

Question: Tell me about a time that you delivered legendary customer service?  What was the situation? What happened?  When the person tells a behavior-based story (past behavior predicts future behavior) that sounds like your definition - BOOM.  Leaning toward a culture fit, no guessing. (Obviously needing to check other Keys to Success also...but on the right path!)
