Grace missed another deadline and her boss, Louisa, is very upset. She will have to explain to the client again why the project is behind. Louisa thinks she may say something she'll regret if she talks to Grace about this now, so she decides to wait a while. Louisa is using the ________ conflict-handling style. Group of answer choices collaborating avoiding accommodating forcing compromising

Answer 1

the avoiding conflict-handling style

Explanation:

This conflict-handling style prefers to avoid conflict or negative remarks on the spur of the moment in order to avoid bigger and potentially irremediable confrontations.

This is a passive way of dealing with issues and it works for minor problems (such as a co-worker using social media too much).

However, in this case, since deadline missing seems to have become a dangerous habit for Grace, it is advisable for Louisa to use another conflict-handling style.
