For the Conflict Handling Survey I scored the following:
Yielding: 16
Compromising: 15
Forcing: 8
Problem Solving: 16
Avoiding: 19
Is this a true reflection? Yes I would say so particularly when it comes to compromising and avoiding. I try to work towards mutually beneficial outcomes but as I am not good with conflict I often find myself putting the needs of others first to avoid uncomfortable encounters. This is also where the yielding comes in to effect which explains why meetings with dominant staff often leave me feeling deflated or I find whatever the agenda was for the meeting a complete waste of time.
It was nice to score high on problem-solving. I do feel I have a lot to offer in this area but I know I need to become more confident in putting forward my ideas, solutions and professional opinions.
