Sample answer
“During a busy night at Sun City, two dealers had a disagreement over a game payout. I intervened by first listening to each dealer's account separately to understand their perspectives. I then facilitated a discussion where they could express their concerns and worked to find a solution that addressed both of their issues. In the end, they agreed to a mutual understanding, and I followed up later to ensure they were working well together. This situation reinforced the importance of clear communication and fairness in conflict resolution.”
