(Use the resources... on the unit site to assist.) Thomas Kilman conflict is the concept which came into being In 1970s .Ralph and Thomas Kilman developed a model according to which conflict is said to be a normal thing but not negative. Actually our interests clash with others and this takes the shape of conflict but it is not like shouting, blaming and arguing. We can constructively face it and let it go. We can try to comprehend other’s point of view. We can find a way to avoid that negative disagreement and can mould it to debating, interrogating and provoking positive thoughts. 1. We can side step from the situation, which is called avoiding. 2. We can try to accommodate and satisfy the person against our wish and by compromising our own benefits. 3. We can also go for choice when both parties are not completely happy but can come up to half way compromising solution. 4. Competing means trying to think only by your own notion and ignoring others` ideas. 5. Collaborating is a situation where both parties win. When we argue with someone negatively then it is assertive or non-co-operating thing. Here, you try to believe and exert your power to win the argument to reveal that you are hundred percent correct but on the just opposite of it when we dream of a situation where both parties agree then it is an ideal situation. There is no negative feeling for each other. We face these conflicts more than once in a day. • Do you agree with these results? To support your answer, provide two Examples of when you have demonstrated these conflict modes in action Either at work or in inter-personal relationships. I personally do not agree much with the opinion. This all seems bookish, how it is possible that there will be nothing negative when you would communicate with other person and it is not that you will dis-agree on one topic and will bring a soothing result. It seems that on few things we will not argue but always it will not happen. There might be some cases when your natural tendency of conflict like shouting and proving yourself right will come back then in that case you need to find out a way which will lead to problem solving.
