Let's start by talking about conflict at work. I'm curious how you handle tricky situations.

“When two colleagues clash over a project, what's your instinct — step in or stay out of it?”
“Do you think it's ever wise to give up something you want just to keep the peace?”
“Imagine you're stuck in a negotiation going nowhere — what would you try first to break the deadlock?”
“Would you rather have a boss who's brutally honest or one who's smooth and tactful?”
“Have you ever seen someone calm down a heated argument brilliantly? What did they actually do?”
Fresh topic questions — none repeat until you have seen them all
