2) Problem Solving Collaboration

Out of the many different problem solving/collaboration style, i feel that "compromise" becomes the most effective. Compromise gives both parties what they want out of the situation. Instead of causing more conflict, such as competition or avoidance, the group can carefully try to achieve an agreement by bringing 2 different ideas and applying it towards one solution. An example of when we had to use compromise was for a basketball team I used to play on. The coach was deciding whether to have less, but longer practices, or more frequent shorter practices. Many other players had different class schedules and others rather be home early for dinner. Soon enough an all out debate exploded which resulted to the coach creating a fair even schedule with some longer and shorter practices. All the players were able to accept the new terms by the coach. Compromise a great way to come up to one solid conclusion that makes everyone happy.
