The way in which you engage in conflict has consequences for the resolution of the conflict and for the relationship between the conflicting parties.
Competing: I win, You lose.
The competitive style involves great concern for your own needs and desires and little for those of others.
Avoiding: I lose, You lose
Conflict avoiders are relatively unconcerned with their own or with their opponents' needs or desires.
Accommodating: I lose, You win
In accommodating you sacrifice your own needs for the needs of the other person.
Collaborating: I win, You win
In collaborating you address both your own and the other person's needs.
Compromising: I win and lose, You win and lose
The compromising style is in the middle. There's some concern for your own needs and some concern for the other's needs.
