Answer preview
The second approach in dealing with conflict is compromised. The technique involves moderate assertiveness and cooperation (Thomas & Kilmann, 2017). The objective of the approach is to reach a solution that is satisfying to the conflicting parties. The primary technique is to establish a quick middle-ground position. The third approach used to deal with conflict is collaboration. Collaboration involves a high level of assertiveness and collaboration. This technique aims to create a solution that will fully address the interests of both parties. A win-win situation is established where all the parties agree to work together to realize the desired solution. Important differences between the two parties are recognized, and solutions are established (Thomas, 2008). Personal responsibilities are ignored, while insignificant measures are given attention to enhance continuity in the team. However, the shared solution is one that each of the parties can support.
