Reflect on Conflicts within Small Groups
Based on your personal experience in being either a member or leader of a small group respond to the questions below:
1. How do communication styles of conflict management differ on task and social dimensions of small groups?
2. When would you use a competing (power-forcing) style or a collaborating style? Explain and provide examples. Is there a spiritual basis for your choice?
3. How might group members short-circuit conflict spirals?
