Compromising Conflict Handling Style

Decent Essays
I tend to use the compromising and collaborating conflict handling style most often with my family, friends and group projects. I remember when I want to hang out with my friends, all three of us would plan two to three places to go, each having different ideas. We would always have different ideas of where to go or what to do depending on each of our moods that day. My friends and I would use the compromising conflict handling style to meet a negotiation on what all of us could do to enjoy that day and came to an agreement to use our other ideas for another time. A time where the collaborating style was ineffective was when I was planning a gathering for my cousin. We wanted our first gathering to be the best and for everything to go according

    Some styles result in a lot of progress and building relationships and others result in very little. The most effective type of conflict resolution is compromising and the least effective is forcing. But the situation would not even be a conflict if the members of my family did not have different views. That’s fine, but what isn’t is when members of my family pre-judge us and think that when they come around us they will get the you are a horrible sinner and you will go to hell speech which is something that we would not force upon them like that. That is also one of the things we went over in class was that with conflicts you disagree with the ideas and behavior, not the people.…

    The first conflict was described in our text as avoidance, which occurs when there is a low concern for yourself and a low concern for the other party (Bevan & Sole, 2014). When our style is to avoid conflict, we believe that if we just ignore an issue, it will go away. The second conflict style that was seen was compromise, in which there is a moderate concern both for yourself and for the other person. Compromising in conflict involves some gains and some losses for both parties. The individuals in the conflict work together to create a fair solution that is acceptable for both of them, but that also means that no one gets entirely what he or she wants (Bevan & Sole, 2014).…

When in groups I prefer for everyone to get along because it allows for meetings to run smoother.…

    Wilmot & Hocker (2001) define conflict as a struggle between communicating parties due to the perception of incompatible goals, scarce resources, and interference from others while achieving goals. Conflict is an inevitable part of business; thus, teams must look for the right strategy to manage and resolve conflict and maintain positive working relationships among team members. Numerous research and studies have been dedicated to the study of conflict management styles (Hample and Dallinger, 1995 and Wilmot and Hocker, 2001) and their implication for relational outcomes. I assume many people in our class will describe the specific steps in resolving a conflict in a similar way; therefore, let me take an alternative way to address this issue.…

    People who use the competing style want to be respected for who they are and what they know. Comprising is having a high concern for personal wants and others, but taking in consideration the goal, believes everyone should give a little. It is basically realizing and being okay with not getting everything wanted. Lastly, collaborating is everyone listening to each other, and coming up with a solution together. I think depending on the situation and who the conflict is with, determines the response/conflict handling style…

    Typically, conflict can foster creativity when it is about ideas rather than personalities. In contrast, team members can be committed to maintaining harmony during meetings, but unresolved differences can spill over into nasty remarks outside the office. (Bateman/Snell 486). I have been a member of, and led teams that offered both types of results and needed different management styles. I’ve found that collaboration can produce some of the best results but this is not without the obstacles of moving past avoidance and compromise which seem to produce nothing.…

    Whereas in collaborating, conflicts are resolved by finding creative solutions for a win-win solution for both parties, allowing each party to get what they need.
