Conflict Resolution
Conflict: Finding the Opportunity
We don’t always create the conflict in our lives, but we
can always choose our response to conflict.
32
When is it appropriate to use each of the styles for resolving conflict?
• Competing/Forcing: (win-lose)– Often appropriate when: Emergency; quick decision is
necessary and no time to deliberate; issue is trivial and others don’t care what happens.
– Often inappropriate when: Collaboration has not yet been attempted; cooperation from other is important; used routinely for most issues; self-respect of others is diminished needlessly.
• Accommodating: (lose-win)– Often appropriate when: Result isn’t important to you, but it is
to the other person; satisfying the other person is priority; you realize you’re wrong.
– Often inappropriate when: You are likely to harbor resentment; used habitually to gain acceptance.
When is it appropriate to use each of the styles for resolving conflict?
• Collaboration: (win-win)– Often appropriate when: the issues and relationships are both
significant; cooperation is important; a creative end is important; reasonable hope exists to address all concerns.
– Often inappropriate when: time is short; the issues aren’t important; you’re overloaded; the goals of the other person are certainly wrong.
• Avoiding: (lose-lose)– Often appropriate when: Results not important and stakes aren’t
high; pick your battles; relationship is insignificant; time is short and decision is not important.
– Often inappropriate when: You care about the relationship and the issue; used habitually for most issues; negative feelings may linger; others would benefit from caring confrontation.
33
What are your “hot buttons”?– Things which get you to feel guilty, hurt, or angry.– You perceive that you’re not being heard or understood.– You find yourself repeating your case or getting louder.– You feel challenged or judged.– You find yourself being hurtful or judgmental.

objectively (less emotionally).
