Appropriate use of the forcing style
Some managers commonly use their position power to force others to do what they want them to do. The forcing style is appropriate to use when (1) unpopular action must be taken on important issues; (2) commitment by others to proposed action is not crucial to its implementation--in other words, people will not resist doing what we want them to do; (3) maintaining relationships is not critical; or (4) the cinflict resolution is urgent.
