Conflict Resolution

Collaboration conflict resolution entails that everyone comes out a winner. The group comes to a consensus and agrees to what is better for the group. Although each side may not get everything they want, the goal is to try and get the most important items. I believe that collaboration conflict resolution happens in group activity everyday. A good example of this happens when family discuss where to eat for dinner. Usually when it’s time for dinner, everyone has their place they want to go. In order for the group to function and eat, everyone needs to feel as if they have won. This situation happened last week, and we ended up choosing a buffet where everyone could have what they wanted.
Competitive conflict resolution has an outcome of a win-lose situation. It is unfortunate that everyone cannon win, but competition creates environments where people can have a healthy way of winning. A good example of this occurs in sports, like football and soccer, or in professional settings like sales jobs. Tomorrow there is a boxing match that I will watch. This match is between to evenly match players and is sure to encourage competition among viewers. Although there can be only one winner, the competition will show who the better opponent is.
