This one is a typical behavioral questions. So instead of putting focus on the actual answer, it is the ways you answer this question that matters. Interviewers are trying to probe into your mind on how you behave under pressure. So your gesture and ways in answering this question are actually the clues they are looking for your capability to handle pressure.
You have to answer this question using a number of tactics:
1) First of all, keep simile when answering this question. This shows you can handle pressure with ease :)
2) Tell them some stories that you handle pressure successfully ( I am sure you does have this experience, right?)
3) Tell them the difficulties/problems you have faced in some incidents and how you get them solved.
4) Demonstrate with these two elements: Firstly: your individual ability to handle the problems and secondly, how you work with others (like co-workers, sub-ordinates, direct reporting manager) to overcome the difficulties.
5) To make the stories more vivid, add some elements of errors, faults that you have been unable to solve and what lessons you have learned to improve yourself and avoid the same happening in future.
You know, interviewers are not looking for superman but someone mature who can
1) solve problems and 2) learn from mistakes. Do you get this?
