Depending on the urgency and the type of conflict in the workplace, will decide what conflict strategy would be used to resolve the conflict at hand. Recognizing the conflict and the conflict management strategies strengths and weaknesses will assist management in developing a conflict management plan to solve the conflict between David and James. Each of the five management strategies has its own strengths and weaknesses that management needs to be aware of in order to settle a conflict. The accommodating strategy is low in assertiveness and high in cooperation. This strategy puts the others needs or interest before his or her own just to maintain a harmonious relationship. In certain conflicts this could be fine because it allows the other party to feel like they have won the conflict, which could lead to a faster resolution. The problem with the accommodating strategy is the outcome is of low importance. The compromising strategy is moderate assertiveness and moderate cooperation. Using the compromising strategy there is no clear winner or loser. The compromising strategy is defined as “giving up more than you want”. This strategy is used as a temporary solution to the conflict not a permanent one, which could create a bigger problem later. The compromising strategy...

As part of the superintendent’s teams I have created a plan to identify various strategies available to build teams, challenges or barrios and measures used to determine if the team is operating successfully. The plan is divided into two sections Team Strategy Plan and Conflict Management Plan. * * Team Strategy Plan: * There are five stages of group development forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. The first stage forming is where team members meet and exchange information about each such as experiences and backgrounds. In this stage team members are accepting and avoiding conflict. The second stage is storming team members have different opinions of how and what thing should be done and who should be in control. This may cause some conflict within the teams. The third stage is norming where teams begin to work more effectively together. Team members respect each other’s opinion and differences. The fourth stage is performing teams are fully functional and accepted. Members have gotten to know each other by this stage and are able to the task at hand.

...biggest problem has been keeping a program going. Training, funding, and finding time to keep it a part of a school are difficult challenges. Conflict resolution means teaching young people new and different ways to resolve disputes without resorting to verbal or physical violence. Many adolescents today are caught up in situations of teen conflict that they cannot manage – jealousy, name calling, teasing, gossip, stealing another’s property, dating and friendship issues, and bullying and outright aggression. Schools are frequently the center of many of these tensions. Conflict can also branch out from the school and lead to problems in the community. Conflict resolution education is an important component in violence prevention and intervention program in schools and youth communities. It is used in approximately 15% of schools in the United States. The most successful programs seem to be those that offer a comprehensive approach to problem-solving, teaching effective listening and communication skills, and critical and creative thinking with an emphasis on personal responsibility and self discipline. Sweeney and Caruthers (1996) define conflict resolution in a concise way, “the process used by both parties in conflict to reach a settlement.” Conflict is basically the result of two or more people possessing differing opinions, beliefs, needs, or goals than another person and something has to take place with at least one person in order for the two of them to continue...

If we did not have any laws then we would operate under the law of the jungle – only the strongest and most dominant survive. The law serves four principal purposes, establishing standards, maintaining order, resolving disputes, and protecting liberties and rights. The law sets the minimally acceptable standards and behaviors in society. Criminal law exists because society decided that it would not tolerate certain actions against other persons or their property in society.

Some semblance of order is necessary in any civil society, which is reflected in the law. When the law is enforced it provides consistent order within society’s guidelines.

There are several different levels to the court system – city, county, state, federal, etc. There are several less formal ways to resolve disputes, called alternative dispute resolutions.
