List (in sentences) the three conflict management types and explain the differences between them

1. Competition. Basically forcing the other person to do everything your way. Very assertive and completely not cooperative, as the other person will have to give up on something. Works best when you need to make an urgent decision in an emergency situation and other person is aware of that.

2. Collaboration. This is a style where both parties achieve their goals through collaboration and cooperation. It’s perfect for situations where you have time to find a new solution to the problem. Takes a lot of going back and forth to get everyone’s opinion understood and find the middle ground.

3. Compromise. Requires both you and the other person to give up on something and thus can be considered a lose-lose approach as none of you gets what was wanted initially. Works best for a temporary solution when you are limited on time. Collaborating requires more effort to a, so compromise is often used as an easy way out.

4. Accommodation. Requires you to give up on your goals and cooperate with the other person. Works best when the other person is an expert or has a better solution than you, or you want to build a relationship and gain the trust of the other party.

5. Avoidance. In my opinion, it’s the worst of all and is often used by people who treat conflict as something terrible. Nothing gets done in that case because you simply avoid the conflict to reserve some space, or hoping that conflict will resolve itself. Sometimes that works, but it’s not a good strategy overall.
