Tell me about a time you had to give difficult feedback to a peer or someone senior to you. How did you approach it and what happened?

Imagine you're playing a team sport and you notice a teammate keeps missing passes because they're not looking your way. You need to tell them so the team can win, but you don't want to hurt their feelings or make them defensive. This question checks if you can handle that kind of awkward but necessary conversation professionally, especially when the other person has more experience or authority.
