9. Competitive

When quick, decisive action is vital—for example, in an
emergency
On important issues when unpopular courses of action need
implementing—for example, cost cutting, enforcing
unpopular rules, discipline
On issues vital to company welfare when you know you’re
right
When you need to protect yourself from people who take
advantage of noncompetitive behavior
9

10. Collaborative

When you need to find an integrative solution and the
concerns of both parties are too important to be
compromised
When your objective is to learn and you wish to test your
assumptions and understand others' views
When you want to merge insights from people with different
perspectives on a problem
When you want to gain commitment by incorporating others’
concerns into a consensual decision
When you need to work through hard feelings that have been
interfering with a relationship
10

11. Avoiding

When an issue is unimportant or when other, more important issues are
pressing
When you perceive no chance of satisfying your concerns—for example,
when you have low power or you are frustrated by something that would
be very difficult to change
When the potential costs of confronting a conflict outweigh the benefits
of its resolution
When you need to let people cool down—to reduce tensions to a
productive level and to regain perspective and composure
When gathering more information outweighs the advantages of an
immediate decision
When others can resolve the issue more effectively
When the issue seems tangential or symptomatic of another, more basic
issue
11

12. Accommodating

When you realize that you are wrong—to allow a better
solution to be considered, to learn from others, and to show
that you are reasonable
When the issue is much more important to the other person
than it is to you—to satisfy the needs of others and as a
goodwill gesture to help maintain a cooperative relationship
When you want to build up social credits for later issues that
are important to you
When you are outmatched and losing and more competition
would only damage your cause
When preserving harmony and avoiding disruption are
especially important
When you want to help your employees develop by allowing
them to learn from their mistakes
12

13. Compromise

When goals are moderately important but not worth the
effort or the potential disruption involved in using more
assertive modes
When two opponents with equal power are strongly
committed to mutually exclusive goals—as in labor–
management bargaining
When you want to achieve a temporary settlement of a
complex issue
When you need to arrive at an expedient solution under time
pressure
As a backup mode when collaboration or competition fails
