Have each team member identify a conflict that they have recently encountered while working in a group. These groups could be work groups or school learning teams. As a team, discuss the conflicts and choose one to focus on for the team assignment.
Prepare a 700- to 1,050-word paper in which you describe the group conflict scenario and propose a possible solution. The focus of the paper should not be on the conflict and possible solution, but on the process the group followed in coming to a solution. In your paper, be sure to address the following questions:
- What was the conflict about and what was the proposed solution?
- How did individuals in the group use their personal strengths to come up with a solution to the conflict?
- What other conflict management techniques could the group have applied to solve the problem?
- What conflict management techniques were used to solve the problem?
- How did the group arrive at a decision?
