Conflict Resolution Styles

The Basics...

At Power of Two, we talk a lot about the importance of Win-Win, Collaborative Decision Making. How come? What's so important about Win-Win anyway? The video will teach you about the problematic outcomes that come from the various other decision making patterns.

Unsuccessful decision making strategies inculde:

  • Yeild
  • Freeze
  • Fight
  • Flight

All these methods end with at least one partner feeling hurt and dejected.

With a classic bit of Power of Two's humorous touch, you'll get a quick refresher on the whole Win-Win thing as well. Remember the three steps to Win-Win problem solving: expressing initial opinions; exploring underlying concerns; and finding satisfyling solutions. Problem solving doesn't have to be compromise. Everyone can win.
