Question 1 of 27070

As a manager, which of the following conflict management styles is considered the most appropriate for resolving conflict and is considered both an assertive and a cooperative approach?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Assertiveness vs. cooperativeness in common conflict-management models (e.g., Thomas-Kilmann) • Typical definitions of forcing, collaborating, avoiding, and accommodating • Which style aims for a win–win solution where both sides’ needs are addressed

💭 Think About

• Think about which option describes a style where a manager actively engages in the conflict but also seeks to satisfy the other party’s concerns. • Ask yourself: which style is usually linked with problem-solving together, rather than one side giving in or backing away? • Consider which style would typically be recommended in leadership and management training as the ideal way to resolve important, ongoing workplace conflicts.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which style is labeled both high in assertiveness and high in cooperativeness in standard conflict-management diagrams. • Check which options tend to result in a win–lose, lose–win, or lose–lose outcome, and which aims for win–win. • Confirm which style involves directly addressing the issue together, instead of avoiding it, overpowering the other party, or simply yielding.
