1CONFLICT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Styles of conflict management are the process of recognizing and dealing with the dispute
in an effective, rational and balanced way. The management implements a business strategy that
is within the boundaries of the environment and involves the power to resolve the conflict and
the ability of good negotiating skill to restore the focus on the company. The five major style of
conflict management are competitive, accommodative, sharing, collaborative, and avoidant
(Spaho, 2013). With the help of the chosen leader that is Steve Jobs the following styles on
managing the conflict will be discussed.
Competitive- in the prospect of competitive nature of the managing conflict, Steve Jobs have
taken a stance and refused to see perspective from the other parties. This style is appropriate
when the employee of the company stands up for their right in the organization and takes quick
decision (Rahim, 2017). The conflict is resolved by the leader and prevents the opposing
comments made by the other employees.
Accommodative- this style of managing conflict forsakes the needs and desires in replace for
others. It will be the duty of Steve Jobs to put the concern of others first and for himself. This
style usually occurs when the leader gives the facility of persuasion. Steve Jobs has maintained
this style by inculcating the habit of maintaining peace and maintain an environment for the
employee that they do not hold their choice but to agree with the choice of the leader.
Sharing- in other words this style can also be known as compromising. This style attempts to
search for a solution that will be considered at least to please the parties. The leader holds the
responsibility between the needs that would practically leave the employees in an unsatisfied or
satisfied context (Saeed et al., 2014). It is important to adopt this strategy when it is important to
reach a solution.
