In the case of a temper tantrum, how would you react?

By asking this question, the interviewer is trying to assess how well you can control your emotional outbursts and how well your management style aligns with your own. Stay away from any suggestion that throwing temper tantrums may be a hassle.

Example: I see a temper tantrum as a youngster attempting to control their emotions, and I think that patience is the key to addressing them in a healthy way. As long as they're not harming themselves, I believe it's best to let things sort themselves out before talking about it once they've calmed down.
