indefinitely. By delaying or ignoring the conflict, the avoider
hopes the problem resolves itself without a confrontation.
Collaborating:
Collaboration works by integrating ideas set out by
multiple people. The object is to find a creative solution
acceptable to everyone. Collaboration, though useful, calls for a
significant time commitment not appropriate to all conflicts.

5. Conflict strategies
Compromising:
The compromising strategy typically calls for both sides
of a conflict to give up elements of their position in order to
establish an acceptable, if not agreeable, solution.
Competing:
Competition operates as a zero-sum game, in which one
side wins and other loses. Highly assertive personalities often fall
back on competition as a conflict management strategy..

different approaches to specific situations.
