Discuss with a partner/write down the pitfalls of the competing, avoiding, accomodating, and compromising styles.

Slide 5 - Question ouverte

Competing. When adopting a competing style, people view interpersonal conflict resolution as win-lose games. Rather than recognizing the value of ensuring that each party walks away satisfied, disputants focus narrowly on claiming as much as they can for themselves. While value claiming is an important component of negotiation, a single-minded competitive orientation sacrifices value in the long run and perpetuates conflict.
Avoiding. Because dealing with conflict directly can be highly uncomfortable, many of us prefer to avoid it. An avoidant conflict style might at first appear to be the opposite of a competitive style, but in fact, it can be similarly obstructive. When we avoid conflict, we often allow problems to grow worse.
Accommodating. Because they defer so often to others, negotiators who adopt an accommodating style can seem agreeable and easygoing. But when people consistently put others’ needs first, they are liable to experience resentment that builds up over time. Accommodating negotiators typically will benefit from learning to express their needs and concerns.
Compromising. Sometimes we try to resolve conflict by proposing seemingly equal compromises, such as meeting in the middle between two extreme positions, or by making a significant compromise just to move forward. Although a compromising conflict style can move a conversation forward, the solution is often unsatisfying and temporary because it doesn’t address the root issues at stake.
A collaborative negotiation style is usually the most effective style for managing conflict and fostering productive long-term relationships
True
False

Slide 6 - Sondage

The answer is true.
What are the benefits of the collaborative style according to your reading and the video you watched?

Slide 7 - Carte mentale

Reading:
Those who adopt a collaborative conflict-resolution style work to understand the deeper needs behind other parties’ demands and to express their own needs. They see value in working through strong emotions that come up, and they propose tradeoffs across issues that will give each side more of what they want. A collaborative negotiation style is usually the most effective style for managing conflict and fostering productive long-term relationships; however, different conflict-management styles can be effectively applied to different phases and types of conflict in management. Moreover, though we may have a predisposition toward a particular conflict style, we adopt different styles depending on the situation.

A
True
B
False

Slide 8 - Quiz

FALSE! It is important to let go of the need for control in a collaborative style.
Why is it important to NOT look at the other side as a competitor?

Slide 9 - Question ouverte

Answer: you don't get any of the benefits of a true collaboration/it spoils the tone and potentially future dealings with each other.
What are the benefits of being "flexible"?

Slide 10 - Carte mentale

1. creates boundaries
2. if you only have a ''hammer'', everything begins to look like a nail - this does not apply to all situations
3. look at everything case by case for the best solution
Why is it important to offer actual solutions?

Slide 11 - Question ouverte

If you only discuss the problems or point out the flaws in the solutions offered by the other side, you will never come to any solution. Focus on reaching a solution/adding value!
The hot seat
Get out the talk 2 preparation material/feedback forms and scan them quickly. One student who will be assessed on this will role play as the park manager and the teacher will roleplay as the head of the municipality. The rest of the class will take notes/give feedback! Check the feedback forms.

Slide 12 - Diapositive

6. Choose one of the students being assessed on talk 1 to role play the talk with you as the head of cleaning and them as the park manager. The rest of the class will watch, take notes and give feedback. This is slide 12 titled ‘’hot seat’’. Give the students a minute or two to pull up the case and to review it or their notes briefly. The talk should take around 5 minutes and total approximate time to do this role play and get feedback from the class 10 minutes.
Practice time
Take 2-3 minutes to refresh your memory on today's case. In your groups, take turns practicing the talks: one student is the chairman, another the park manager, the others audience/feedback givers. Use the feedback/self-evaluation forms for guidance.

Slide 13 - Diapositive

7. Break students up into their project groups (slide 13). Using the feedback forms you upload for them on Teams (you can find them in Uitvoering Onderwijs & Moodle). Students will take turns being the park manager, the head of the village committee, and giving feedback using the forms. As a teacher you will take the students who are being assessed on talk 2 to practice with them first, before ‘’sending them back to their groups’’ to practice as you check in on the other students with the time remaining. (Approx. 30 minutes)
