Conflict management styles

Competing: Conflict is viewed as a challenging and exciting experience. The individual believes in the correctness of their position and actively pursues those beliefs in a competitive fashion. Accommodating: Conflict situations are handled by agreeing with the other party. Maintaining friendly relationships with other people is the primary goal. Avoiding: Conflict is not addressed, and withdrawal is the dominant behavior. The retreater does not pursue their or anyone's concerns. Compromising: Conflict is seen as an opportunity to negotiate, using the idea that "half a loaf is better than none." Compromising involves the willingness to give up something if the other side will also give up something. Collaborating: Conflict is perceived as mutual problem solving through which the needs and interests of all parties are equally considered. The goal is to achieve a solution where all can agree.
