Explain the conflict-handling styles a manager might adopt. Give an example of each. Under what circumstances is each style appropriate?
What will be an ideal response?
The five styles are:
1. Avoiding—ignoring or suppressing a conflict; appropriate when a person needs to buy time in unfolding and ambiguous situations.
2. Accommodating—allowing the other person's desires to prevail; appropriate when the issue isn't important and is simple and not getting worse.
3. Forcing—ordering or otherwise using power to get people to do it your way; appropriate when quick results are essential.
4. Compromising—splitting the difference; appropriate when both sides have opposite goals and/or possess equal power.
5. Collaborating—devising solutions that benefit both parties; appropriate for complex issues plagued by misunderstanding.
The student should give an example of each style.
