🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between win-win, win-lose, and lose-lose outcomes in conflict resolution • How compromise differs from collaboration/joint problem solving • Power imbalance when one side submits or is defeated

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask yourself: Do both parties clearly benefit, or does at least one party give something up or lose? • Which option focuses on working together to improve the situation, rather than just ending the conflict quickly? • Which technique is most likely to strengthen the long‑term working relationship between the two sides?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option best fits a true win‑win outcome where interests of both sides are addressed • Eliminate any choices where one side must give in, submit, or be defeated • Notice that a simple compromise can still mean both sides partially lose something, which is different from a full win‑win
