Conflict
Adult behaviour when it gets sharp.
What they expect
Whether you avoid, escalate theatrically, or name the issue and repair the working relationship. They will follow up: what if that person still refused?
A strong signal
You can locate your contribution to the mess. You had the conversation. The relationship still functions, or you can say honestly that it does not and what you did next.
A weak tell
A story about how unreasonable the other person was. “I hate conflict so I let it go.” A tidy win with no residue.
Why this angle exists
Case rooms, consulting teams, and 1:1s with a manager all produce disagreement. They need to know you will not freeze or explode.
Canadian flavour
Sauder live interviews often follow a non-performing teammate into “what if they have no interest at all.” Queen’s Commerce uses hypotheticals about disagreement and cultural offence. Rotman lists conflict resolution as an official recorded-video theme.
