Management Consulting Question:
Tell me of a time when you resolved a team conflict?
Answer:
Tells a personal story:
► Was set up in a team of four for a course project.
► Project was broken into 2 modules so we decided to split the team into 2.
► Nobody wanted to work with one of the team members because her programming skills were extremely weak.
► Team was on the verge of splitting up because of this.
► I realized that she had better writing skills than any of us & could help out majorly by writing out the report (was 20% of our grade)
► I decided to work with her on the simpler module and split the work so that I could program and she could test & debug it.
► Came to a compromise where everyone was happy!
