Week 13 D-2



Collaborative conflict has to do with a win-win situation. A time that I have been involved with a collaborative conflict that was resolved would be the other day. Me and my cousin couldn’t figure out where to get breakfast and we were both annoyed with each other cause we were hungry and wanted to eat, but couldn’t agree. We were finally able to settle on getting coffee and bagels. The best part was there was a Starbucks right next to a Noah’s bagels, so we were both happy with that, it was a win-win situation. 
A competitive conflict has to deal with a win-lose situation. One person is happy while the other is not. The book says competitive conflict strategies can be constructive. It can be a good thing to have a little competitive conflict in a group. It can push others to complete what they need to quickly. I prefer and think that collaborative conflict is more satisfying. I like being in a win-win situation, where everyone is happy.  I also think that the other party would be happy with it too. When everyone win, it helps to eliminate conflict altogether.
