What is your approach to managing conflict?
My two strong results are in Compromising and Problem Solving according to this survey. Bender (2005) describes steps 6 and 7 of her list of Strategies for building Effective Communication as both pertaining to compromise as maintaining good communication. Steps 3, 4 and 5 all describe steps about problem solving as crucial in negotiation for a positive result in effective communication. (Bender. 2005, p.5)
Does this match to how you think of yourself /areas to develop?
Yes, I tend to avoid conflict and attempt to work with others rather than against. Area to develop could be that I am too yielding and should state my case more. It depends very much on who the conflict may be involving.
