Create a 6 page essay paper that discusses Conflict Management: A personal Reflection.

We had done joint work before but it had always been predetermined in terms of division. I always had a portion to do and my partner Bruno had his portion. This time the task was different. The instructions were general and we had to do each part of the task together. The first two days went fine. On the third day Bruno came up with an idea related to the task that I did not agree with and he almost imposed it on me. He presented his proposed plan of action and started working on it directly. In fact, he had done some homework on it even before discussing it with me. He was so confident and imposing about it that I didn’t really know how to behave or how to have in my say. The result was that I remained silent and kept following his plans. The project ended up fine, the short term consequences were also satisfactory, it appeared a smooth joint work but the long term effects it had on me were negative. I never feel comfortable in joint work now and I still regret not doing it my way for I believe it would have given a much better result if we had done it differently. In light of this conflict situation and my submissive reaction to it, I think that my approach is flighty which I have learnt through experience is not healthy in the long run. After finishing this module, I believe that I should have been more assertive and tried to flow instead of flight off. Using I-statements, I could have asserted my ideas, leading to incorporation of my ideas into his.
