Conflict Styles

• Avoiding Style – ignore conflict and hope it will resolve itself

  ▪ Triangling – occurs when an employee discusses the conflict with a third party
• Accommodating Style – a person is so intent on settling a conflict that he gives in and risks hurting himself
• Forcing Style – handles conflict in a win-lose fashion and does what it takes to win, with little regard for the other person
• Collaborating Style – wants to win but also wants the other person win as well. (Win-Win Situation)
• Compromising Style – adopts give-and-take tactics that enable each side to get some of what it wants
