When to use What?
- Emergency, Fast Decision needed , Quick Turnaround, Difference of Opinion - Competitive
- When Peace is Top priority - Accommodating
- Need of Best solution with different views or Previous conflicts - Collaborative
- Meeting Deadline , Equal strength opponents - Compromising
What are Don'ts?
- Competitive Style should not be overused , else it may leave people dissatisfied.
- Don't use Collaborative style when quick turnaround is needed
- Compromising Style should not be overused , else it may lead to "No Win" culture
- Accommodating Style is not very useful in most of situations except when Peace is more important
