B
The steps to collaborative conflict resolution are as follows: (1) Open a dialogue that brings forth and is respectful of each individual's point of view. (2) Determine a group or shared goal. (3) Identify the expertise and contribution of each individual as the group agrees on the shared goal. (4) Review the goal and move to honestly accept or reject it (acceptance requires the consensus of the group). (5) Design a plan to meet the new goal, using the expertise of the group to design interventions to meet the goal. (6) Determine the roles of the members in carrying out the inter-ventions. A role must be within the capacity of the member and mutually accepted as fairly de-fined. (7) Set an evaluation point and include all individuals in the evaluation process. Maintain respect for everyone's input or contribution and focus on interventions and actions rather than personalities, feelings, or prejudices.
