Consensus: A win-win strategy where all parties agree on a solution that meets their needs.
Integrative decision making: A win-win strategy that focuses on solving a problem, rather than individual goals.

Responses to Conflict

Accommodating: Giving in or yielding to prioritize the concerns of the other person, building rapport and goodwill.
