I will use STAR technique to answer this
Situation- I was once assigned as a product manager for a information solutions product. I was still in the beginning stages of career and learning the ropes of being a product manager. Hence I did not spend lot of time with the development stakeholders and hence would end up in conflicts that would lead to misplaced priorities and delayed timelines
Task- This resulted in negative feedback from the development team and loss of trust with them. My job was to restore the working relationship and iron out conflicts between stakeholders
Action- I worked on the following areas
1) Conducted sessions to explain the overall product vision and blue prints
2) Obtained perspectives, addressed clarifications and colloborated on tradeoffs and alternatives
3) Spoke on behalf of the development team members while having discussions with the business team
4) Kept my word on action items and developed respect/trust through the course of the engagement
Results-
The action above resulted in improving relationships, a healthier working environment and manifestation into product success. The product was eventually launched 2 months earlier than the planned and financially successful for the company
