Asked in the screen: behavioral stage. The interviewer is probing how you handle a difficult people decision, including performance management, fairness, empathy, and ownership of the outcome.

A strong answer uses STAR, protects confidentiality, avoids blame, and includes measurable impact where appropriate.
