In my personal life I am very confident and are very assertive, often with little cooperativeness at times. As I am responsible for making a part of my family function I have to focus on getting things done, being assertive and not necessarily bending with exceptional cooperativeness. In my professional life I try to be not as assertive and also cooperate more, partially out of wanting to learn by doing and also due to the fact I respect those I work for. This shifts my conflict management style to more of a compromising role. As my personal and work roles are quite different, I use different conflict management styles to manage them. I could improve frankly in both areas. I would like to be more of a problem-solver and be more focused on cooperativeness and assertiveness balanced, as is shown in the PowerPoint slide deck. I would also like to concentrate...

I need to be more compromising at home and not so focused on assertiveness to the point of aggressiveness. At work, I need to strive to be more problem solving orientated and less focused on either avoiding or just compromising. I would also like to be able to get to a more consistent approach to managing conflict across both work and personal life so I would not have to change between styles so much. I however do not like to compromise too much as I have strong opinions about getting work done.
