Happiness is a byproduct of function, purpose, and conflict;
those who seek happiness for itself seek victory without war.

William S. Burroughs
A mom witnessed her two children fighting over an orange. They were pushing and shoving each
other and trying to wrestle the orange out of the other’s hands. In heated tones, they were
saying:
“It’s mine!”
“You can’t have it!”
“I want it!”
“I saw it first!”

How can they share the orange ?


Avoiding Style:
Those who avoid conflict tend to be unassertive and uncooperative while diplomatically sidestepping an
issue or simply withdrawing from a threatening situation. “Use this when it is safer to postpone dealing
with the situation or you don’t have as great concern about the outcome, such as if you have a conflict
with a co-worker about their ethics of using FaceTime on the job.”
Competing Style:
Those who compete are assertive and uncooperative and willing to pursue one’s own concerns at another
person’s expense. Dr Benoliel explains using this style works when you don’t care about the relationship but
the outcome is important, such as when competing with another company for a new client. But, she cautions,
“Don’t use competing inside your organization; it doesn’t build relationships.”
Accommodating Style:
The opposite of competing, there is an element of self-sacrifice when accommodating to satisfy the other
person. While it may seem generous, it could take advantage of the weak and cause resentment. “You can
use accommodating when you really don’t care a lot about the outcome but do want to preserve or build the
relationship,” Dr Benoliel says, “such as going out for lunch with the boss and agreeing, ‘If you want to go
for Thai food for lunch, that’s OK with me.’”
Compromising Style:

This style aims to find an expedient, mutually acceptable solution that partially satisfies both parties in the
conflict while maintaining some assertiveness and cooperativeness. “This style is best to use when the outcome
is not crucial and you are losing time; for example, when you want to just make a decision and move on to more
important things and are willing to give a little to get the decision made,” Dr Benoliel says. “However,” she
adds, “be aware that no one is really satisfied.”
Collaborating Style:

A combination of being assertive and cooperative, those who collaborate attempt to work with others to identify a
solution that fully satisfies everyone’s concerns. In this style, which is the opposite of avoiding, both sides can get
what they want and negative feelings are minimized. “Collaborating works best when the long-term relationship and
outcome are important—for example, planning for integrating two departments into one, where you want the best of
both in the newly formed department,” Dr Benoliel says.
