Note from asker:
| Thanks. Your suggestion confirms the correctness of the translation. The company wants to know whether the person interviewed is able to get along/around the organisational hindrances which might occur in the company's organisation or not. The way how he/she overcome the organisational hindrances may show quite clearly his/her leading style. It is about the appropriation of position and power. Since the interviewed might be promoted to a higher position, it is important to examine his/her leading style which may have a positive or negative impact on the organisation. |

Note from asker:
| Thank you. I am wondering if organisational hindrances can embarrass a decision maker. If they can, it will be all right to understand the sentence that way. |
