Competing, Collaborating, and Accommodating. Got it. Although, I'm more of a Conflict Escalation kind of guy, myself. Keeps things interesting, you know?

Conflict Escalation, huh? That's an interesting approach. I prefer Collaborating myself, but it's good to have different strategies in mind.

Okay, let's see... Competing, Collaborating, and Accommodating. Easy peasy, just gotta remember that Conflict Reduction and Conflict Suppression aren't actually part of the model. Although, I do enjoy a good ol' fashioned conflict suppression, personally.

I agree with Daniel. Competing, collaborating, and accommodation make sense in conflict handling.

Ah, the good ol' Thomas-Kilmann model. I remember that from my HR class - it's like a conflict management choose-your-own-adventure book, but with less dragons and more passive-aggression.
