Discuss typical methods styles for handling conflicts
In class we discussed typical methods styles for handling conflicts. Each style has advantages and
disadvantage depending on the conflict (situation.)
• Describe hypothetical examples (total of three examples) when you could apply each of the five
“Conflict Style Modes”
• What do you expect you may accomplish by using this conflict mode?
• Why is this response the best in this particular situation?
• What might be some dangers of using a different style of response for this situation?
This is an individual assignment. I strongly recommend that you meet with your team, work out some
situations and responses as a group. Each person must do his own write up, but the team can work
together on this.
• Complete the graph below with the five different Style Matters conflict styles. Add the labels,
“personal goals”, “team relationships”, “cooperative” and “assertive’ to the appropriate axis.
(Each axis should have two labels plus the low/high scaling.) (Cut and paste this graph into your
memo!)
• Write a short explanation of why you chose the axis labels
