Writing Assignment 6

My Conflict Managing Strategy

   My most common conflict strategy is "Smoothing."
I agree with this result because I sometimes regard as more important the relationship than my goal.

   If there is a conflict between me and other person or in my team, I will try to solve the problems and overcome the conflict at first. Therefore, I will provide an opportunity to discuss the conflict. And then, I will try to make the discussion open and good for each other. However, if the open discussion causes breaking off relationship, I do not want to insist on my opinion. At the same time, I may think again about my opinion or goal. "Is my opinion or goal so important that I make the relationship break down?" Thus, I may tend to give up insisting on my opinion after asking myself such question. Therefore, it can be said that my common conflict strategy is "Smoothing."

   From now on, I will try to achieve my goal while keeping the relationship, if I strongly hope that my goal will come true. Therefore, I will keep in my mind the UMBRELLA approach which Ken explained in a class.
