The 5 styles of conflict management:
1.Collaborate Style: When you collaborate with your adversary to find a win-win solution, you are using a collaborative style. When emotions run high, problem-solving abilities often slip by the wayside.
2.Accommodate Style: When one side of a dispute gives in to the other's demands for the sake of peace, this is known as an accommodating style. They can go against their own interests, wishes, and ambitions in order to reach the other party where they are and put the flame out.
3.Compete Style: The competitive approach is your classic win/lose strategy where one-half of the dispute asserts their needs without effort to compromise or perhaps even acknowledge the other half’s goals. If the gain is short-term and you need to make quick, decisive action, this can be the right approach.
4.Avoid Style: Many who avoid confrontation are also unassailable and uncooperative, diplomatically avoiding a problem or actually withdrawing from a potentially dangerous situation. “ Use this when it's better to put off dealing with a problem or you don't care as much about the result, such as if you're having a disagreement with a coworker about using FaceTime at work.”
5. Compromise Style: Some people may call the compromising style a lose/lose scenario because both parties surrender parts of their goals during negotiation in an effort to move on. But if you’re the type to see the glass as half-full, you might see that both parties achieve parts of their goals, too
