Reflection On Collaboration And Conflict Resolution

Collaboration

Addressing Core Competencies:

· I recognize that there are different points-of-view, and I can disagree respectfully.

· I can work with others to achieve a common goal. I do my share.

Five of the most common to approaches to resolving conflicts are as follows:

1. Avoiding – Someone who uses a strategy of “avoiding” mostly tries to ignore or sidestep the conflict, hoping it will resolve itself or dissipate.

2. Accommodating – Using the strategy of “accommodating” to resolve conflict essentially involves taking steps to satisfy the other party’s concerns or demands at the expense of your own needs or desires.

3. Compromising – The strategy of “compromising” involves finding an acceptable resolution that will partly, but not entirely, satisfy the concerns of all parties involved.

4. Competing – Someone who uses the conflict resolution strategy of “competing” tries to satisfy their own desires at the expense of the other parties involved.

How well do you think that you collaborate with others? I feel i can collaborate well with other people.
