What Is Your Conflict Management Style?

I try to find solutions that meets everyone's needs

I try to negotiate and adopt a give-and-take approach to problem situations

I try to meet the expectations of others

I would argue my case and insist on the merits of my point of view.

When there is a disagreement, I gather as much information as I can and keep the lines of communication open.

When I find myself in an argument, I usually say very little and try to leave as soon as possible.

I try to see conflicts from both sides. What do I need? What does the other person need? What are the issues involved?

I prefer to compromise when solving problems and just move on.

I find conflicts challenging and exhilarating; I enjoy the battle of wits that usually follows.

Being at odds with other people makes me feel uncomfortable and anxious.

I try to accommodate the wishes of my friends and family.

I can figure out what needs to be done and I am usually right.

To break deadlocks, I would meet people halfway.

I may not get what I want but it’s a small price to pay for keeping the peace.

I avoid hard feelings by keeping my disagreements with others to myself.

You are a collaborator! You solve problems in ways which promotes the best results for all involved. Everyone gets what they want and negative feelings are minimized.

Collaborating

You are a competitor! In conflict, you are more of an authoritarian!

Competing

You like to avoid conflict. You do not like confrontation.

Avoiding

You are an accommodator! You give in in order to maintain relationships.

Accommodating

You like to compromise! This is taking the middle ground to solve problems!
