Q: 4
During a project's execution phase, the team faced a setback in one of the deliveries and was asked
to come up with a new plan. All team members joined a meeting to address the issue and, after a
while, the project manager observed that two members of the team were just agreeing with
anything that was proposed even though they were opposed to the outcome.
What conflict resolution style were the team members adopting?
Options
Discussion
D . The team members just agree without pushing their own views, so that's classic accommodative style, not collaborative. C is tempting but they're not actually working to resolve the disagreement. Trap if you focus on the word 'collaborative'.
Makes sense to pick D here, since they're just agreeing and not voicing objections. Pretty sure that's classic accommodative style.
Why wouldn't this be considered Avoidant (A) if they're just not speaking up? Isn't D more about actively yielding, while these members seem more passive?
Yeah, that checks out as D for me too. Accommodative style is when people go with the flow to keep the peace, even if they don’t agree inside. Pretty sure that’s what this scenario describes.
C or D? Saw this kind of scenario in some practice, not totally sure but feels like either could fit.
D
D
Maybe D. Saw a similar question come up in practice tests and the pattern matched accommodative style for sure.
C/D? Scenario is about observed behavior, not best style. B is a trap since they're not being combative at all.
Easy to miss but the wording in this scenario makes all the difference. If the team members are agreeing just to avoid conflict, it's classic D. I've seen practice questions flip to C if asked for "most effective" style though, so details matter here. Anyone else catch that switch?
Be respectful. No spam.
