Conflict resolution is important in a team as the conflicts may result in demotivation. Healthy conflicts are important as it may result in greater brain storming and creative ideas. Five major methods to avoid conflict are listed above. Avoiding means ignoring the conflict in a hope that it will resolve itself when attention is not given to the problem. Accommodating means listening to concerns of all the parties involved in the conflict and trying to satisfy them with a positive solution that is beneficial for all.

Competing is finding the best solution which is beneficial for himself rather than trying to solve the conflict. Collaborating is listening to all the parties and fully satisfy them with diminishing the conflict between them.
