and conflicts? What conflict management techniques were used to resolve conflicts? Explain. My group discussed what the best strategy was to prevent the balloon from bursting during CA1 and which involved using cotton wool, tape, tissue paper and an ice cream stick. Although we had differing opinions on which materials were more suitable, such as the paper baking tray or the plastic bag, we ultimately came to the consensus that the paper tray was the best choice as there was a higher probability that the balloon would pop if the other material was used. The management technique we used to resolve our disagreement was definitely collaboration as we worked together towards a common goal and everyone's suggestions were listened to and taken into consideration. Although collaboration usually requires the longest resolution of a conflict, we managed to work within the time limit and reached mutual agreement and understanding between all of us. It also led to a win-win outcome and at the same time helped build mutual trust and respect among the entire group. Additionally, it was less stressful because we had shared responsibility for the outcome as everyone agreed on the final, binding resolution. Another management technique we used was the compromise approach when we had to resolve a process conflict, which occurred between two members of our member group who insisted on covering the same subtopic for our individual research on the CA2. Triston then suggested drawing lots, which everyone agreed on, as it was an indisputably fair and democratic solution. This lowered tension and stress levels, as time was a factor. So compromising was an appropriate and mutually acceptable solution as it partially satisfied everyone. What were some of...... middle of paper ...... about the expected outcome of decisions made and you may have difficulty reaching a decision if you are undecided. When team members contribute to the decision-making process, they are more likely to have a strong sense of responsibility and commitment because they know they are fully aware of their assigned team roles. This reduces the unreality of individual decisions since individuals are solely responsible for the decisions they make, be they good or bad. Furthermore, input from a larger number of people is generally less biased, so group decisions are usually less stubborn and impartial. Furthermore, groups are more productive and motivated than individuals. This is because groups have a stronger level of motivational effect and take responsibility for ensuring that the entire group works cohesively to achieve a common goal..
