Management of Conflict • When determining how to manage conflict, we tend to utilize different styles depending on the situation: • Avoidance—Non-confrontational: walking away from the situation • Accommodation—Non-confrontational: setting aside your needs for the needs of the other party • Competition—Win/lose: your loss is the other party’s gain; tactics include: forcing, low-balling, time constraints, deception, etc. • Compromise—Splitting the difference: (i.e. flipping a coin, cutting something in half) • Collaboration—Win/win: both parties mutually benefit, and creative alternatives are achieved.
