For the Conflict Handling questionnaire I scored the following:
Yielding: 17
Compromising: 14
Forcing: 8
Problem Solving: 16
Avoiding: 19
What is my approach to managing conflict?
I tend to want to be the peacemaker in conflict situations. Conflict makes me uncomfortable, so I tend to want to put others’s needs before my own to avoid or minimise conflict. The scores above do ring true according to my feelings about conflict and how I respond to it.
Does this match to how you think of yourself?
I do think that I’m a good problem solver, but also try to avoid problems or conflicts and yield to others for this to occur.
What areas do you think you need to develop?
I need to work on my ability to express my feelings and opinions during conflict situations and be willing to make others aware of my needs and ideas. I have to develop confidence in my professional opinion and realising its validity.
