• Power?• Perception?• Need?• Values?
QEM/TCUP Leadership Development Institute
Apply Methods
• Consensus• Compromise• Compete• Accommodate• Avoid
QEM/TCUP Leadership Development Institute
Reach Consensus through Collaboration – Your own interests matched with the interests of the other person.
• This strategy is generally used when concerns for others are important.
• It is also generally the best strategy when larger interest is at stake.
• This approach helps build commitment and reduce bad feelings.
• Takes time and energy. • The others' trust and openness can be taken advantage of.
QEM/TCUP Leadership Development Institute
Compromise • Win some/lose some.• Temporary solutions • Can lose sight of important values and long-term
objectives. • Can distract the partners from the merits of an issue and
create a cynical climate..
QEM/TCUP Leadership Development Institute
Competition • Your own interests with less concern for other.• Bargaining.
• Can cause the conflict to escalate and loser may try to
retaliate.
QEM/TCUP Leadership Development Institute
Accommodation • High concern for the interests of other person. • Used when the issue is more important to others than to
you. • Appropriate when you recognize that you are wrong.
• Your own ideas and concerns don't get attention. • You may also lose credibility and future influence.
QEM/TCUP Leadership Development Institute
Avoidance
• Low concern for your own interests and of the other. • Used when the issue is trivial or other issues are more
pressing. • When confrontation has a high potential for damage.
• Important decisions not made or made by default.
