Collaborating conflict style
The collaborating cinflict style user assertively attemps to jointly resolve the conflict with the best solution agreeable to all parties. It is also called the problem-solving style. When we use the collaborating approach, we are being assertive and cooperative. Although avoiders and accommodators are concerned about others needs, and forcers are concerned about their own needs, the collaborator is concerned about finding the best solution to the problem that is satisfactory to all parties. Unlike the forcer, the collaborator is willing to chage if a better solution is presented. While nehotiating is often based on secret information, collaboration is based on open and honest communication. This is the only style that creates a true win-win situation.
