Conflict Styles: Compromise
Yes, I believe compromising has been the best options for me when it comes to conflict. I was working on this project where we had to migrate around one hundred reports from one version of software to another and we were having many issues in them. Some people were working towards coding, others worked on formatting and so on. Conflict came when we had to provide the final version of the reports and one team started to blame other that because of what they did reports were not coming out right. That was one tough situation. My approach was to just compromise with what this other team had said and agree to work together, showing them how I did what I did and make them changes in reports accordingly without messing the real outlook of the reports. I compromised with some of their approach and they did on some on mine, so that worked for both of us and problem got solved.

I must agree that compromise does seem to be the most effective method of resolution in a workplace environment. The tenuous nature of communicating in a way that will not create insurmountable differences makes conflict a complicated situation to resolve. Often, coworkers must see each other again on a daily basis, sometimes pretending that there is no disagreement lingering in the underbrush. This makes any attempt to solve conflict in a linear or binary way unlikely to succeed. Compromise is the most congenial approach, providing that the individuals or groups with whom one has to deal are interested in promoting tranquility.
