After reviewing the five different types of Conflict Management Styles give an example of when you have experienced one of the styles within a group.
How did it make you feel? What was your attitude towards the leader? What would you have done differently as a team member?

1. Avoiding: very little interest in the group or the goals, little interest in collaboration and not interested in negotiating. Sometimes called the "ostrich with its head in the sand"
2. Accommodating style: results in maximum cooperation but usually is the result of low self-interest and minimal realization.
3. Competitive style: a style that could occur that would lead to little or no results for the team or anyone involved.
4. Compromising style: occurs between groups, team members or organizations. Negotiation skills are to be used to try to create results and communication.
5. Collaborative style: this style maximizes everyone personal interest and communications.
