Conflict Styles 💫 Collaborating — solve together so both win.
Example: “Let’s map both our needs and build a plan that satisfies each.”
Competing — push hard to win the argument.
Example: “We’re using my approach—it’s fastest; that’s final.”
Accommodating — yield to keep the peace.
Example: “Okay, we’ll follow your plan; my concerns can wait.”
Avoiding — sidestep or delay the issue.
Example: “Let’s park this for now and revisit after the meeting.”
Compromising — each gives up a bit.
Example: “You handle mornings, I’ll cover evenings—deal?”
Assertive — state needs clearly, respectfully.
Example: “I can help after 3 PM, not before.”
Problem-Focused — attack the issue, not the person.
Example: “The requirement changed—how can we adjust the timeline?”
Emotion-Regulating — pause to cool down first.
Example: “I’m frustrated—let’s take ten minutes and then continue.”
Boundary-Setting — say no and set limits.
Example: “I can’t work weekends; let’s schedule it for Monday.”
