30 seconds of theory before you start
“Got on with everyone” says nothing. Teamwork shows in how someone gets through disagreements.
Strong questions
- «Tell me about your last serious disagreement with a colleague.»
- «What did you do yourself to resolve it?»
- «How did it end, and what did you take from it?»
The usual miss
Asking “are you a team player?” and accepting “yes”.
You're done when
You know a concrete conflict, the candidate's actions and the outcome.
