Conflict Management Technique - Assignment Example

In one of the organizations that I have ever been to, I saw witnessed the conflict between one man and a lady. The man wanted some sexual advances from the lady, but the woman stood her ground and never gave in to the man's appeals. This instance resulted in a significant conflict between the two parties. The man used a defense mechanism of aggressive fixation. This mechanism never solved the situation, but it worsened the conflict (D. L. Nelson 112).

(1a). The man used the defense mechanism because he was in the wrong, and he had affected the self-esteem of the lady

 (1b). The outcome of the defense mechanism never gave the solution to the conflict.

2.

 In another scenario, the conflict occurred between two ladies and was later solved, using a complete withdraw. One of the ladies stopped minding the concerns of her opponent (Posthuma 5).

(2a). The above conflict management technique was used because it gave the parties involved a conducive environment to work together.

(2b). The conflict management technique offered a solution to the problem (D. L. Nelson 112).

(2c).  If I were participating in the conflict resolution, I would have also used the collaboration technique where we come to a consensus.
