Two senior engineers on your virtual project team disagree on the design approach for a critical component. Each wants to defend their own concept, but you believe the best outcome will come from blending ideas so the final solution fully satisfies both parties' concerns. According to the Thomas-Kilmann conflict-handling modes, which strategy are you using?
The collaborating mode is both assertive (everyone's ideas are explored) and cooperative (aims to satisfy all stakeholders). It seeks a true win-win by integrating perspectives. By encouraging the engineers to work together to combine their approaches, you are practicing collaborating. Compromising would settle for partial satisfaction, competing (forcing) would push one idea over the other, and avoiding would postpone dealing with the conflict.
