18. 5 ways to manage conflict
•Competition (A)
•Compromise (B)
•Collaboration (C)
•Avoidance (D)
•Accommodation (E)

19. Conflict Continuum
I win, you lose (competition—A)
I lose or give in (accommodate—B)
We both get something (compromise—C)
We both “win”(collaborate—D)

20. Competetion
 A competing style is one in which the concerns
and the position of the opposition are
completely ignored. Winning the argument is
the only metric, and any concession to the
other side is seen as a sign of weakness
 It is assertive

21. Collaborating style
 Motto: "Let's find a solution that works for
all of us.
 Sometimes called a 'win/win' strategy, the
collaborating style strives to make sure that
both sides are satisfied. It requires an open
discussion of all the issues and concerns,
exploration of alternative solutions, and
honesty and commitment from all the parties

22. Compromising style
 You win some, you lose some
 You are willing to trade some of your needs in
order to win concessions from the other
side. This style can be effective when both
parties are equally powerful and willing to
cooperate, and they want to preserve the
relationship for the future.

25. Avoiding style
 "I'll think about that tomorrow."
 The goal of the avoiding style is to avoid
making a decision at whatever cost. Neither
your concerns nor the concerns of the other
party need be satisfied. Obviously, this style is
only appropriate when the issues are of low
importance, or it is clear to both parties that
the consequences of delay in making a
decision will be minimal

27. Accommodating style
 "Whatever."
 The accommodating style is one of sacrifice,
selflessness and low assertiveness. You are
willing to give up just about everything in order
to preserve the relationship with the other
party

29. Conflict Resolution in Groups
 Resolving Intra-Group Conflict : Conflict with in
a family can be resolved if the members
recognize and respect roles of family
members. All the members need to realise
that devided they stand, united they fall.
Probably a family friend may intervene to
resolve the dispute if the members fail to
resolve the conflict themselves

30. • Be a model of calm and control
• Don't assume people are being difficult
intentionally
• Find a quiet place in to resolve conflicts....privately
@Set some ground rules for the discussion:
• No raising of voices
• This is not a debate
• Confront the issues, not the people

31. Reaching win-win
