List and describe each of the five conflict management styles, indicating which is/are typical of you
What will be an ideal response?
1. Withdrawal: You physically and psychologically remove yourself from the encounter, which indicates you have very little concern for your own goals or those of the other person. There is no chance for success because you avoid the conflict altogether.
2. Accommodating: You show a general lack of concern for your own goals and instead support the other person's. This leads to long-term relational problems due to resentment at never getting your own way. Also, the other person may not even be appreciative of your accession.
3. Forcing: You aggressively compete for your own way, exerting power over the other. You're often viewed as a bully if you use this often, because you often disregard the effect your need to win has on the other. This style creates a win-lose orientation and places relationships at risk.
4. Compromising: You produce a win-win situation—kind of—but both partners have to give up some of their goals. The relationship is saved, but both may feel somewhat dissatisfied with the results of the conflict. This is a time-consuming style that is usually seen as positive and productive, but it can also be associated with a lose-lose outcome.
5. Collaborating: You positively and constructively deal with the goals of both parties. You work with the other to problem-solve and come up with a mutually satisfying decision that integrates the goals of both parties. Both of you are equally powerful and work together to creative solution. You typically feel increased satisfaction with your relationship because you use "we" instead of "I" language. Although this strategy involves lots of effort, motivation, and time, it does result in a win-win outcome.
