Competing
(What modes do people use to address conflict?)
 

The competing conflict mode is high assertiveness and low cooperation. Times when the competing mode is appropriate are when quick action needs to be taken, when unpopular decisions need to be made, when vital issues must be handled, or when one is protecting self-interests.

Competing Skills
• Arguing or debating
• Using rank or influence
• Asserting your opinions and feelings
• Standing your ground
• Stating your position clearly
