ASSIGNMENT 8: Conflict Strategy

Take the survey on conflict strategies then complete the activities in Option A or Option B. This survey is in Chapter 9 of your textbook, but you can use the one attached to this assignment. Option A – If you feel like your results match the conflict strategy you apply most often, describe a situation from your personal or professional life that exemplifies that particular conflict strategy (smoothing, confronting, compromising, withdrawing, or forcing). Then, identify the conflict strategy used by others that is the most challenging for you to deal with in your personal or professional relationships. How can you challenge yourself to be more effective in managing conflict? Option B – If believe that your results on the survey do not accurately reflect the conflict strategy you use most often, identify the conflict strategy (smoothing, confronting, compromising, withdrawing, or forcing) that you think best fits you and describe a situation in your personal or professional life that exemplifies that strategy. Then, identify the conflict strategy used by others that is the most challenging for you to deal with in your personal or professional relationships. How can you challenge yourself to be more effective in managing conflict?
