Situation: Ashlee and James both work in accounting. James was hired a few months ago and
Ashlee has been with the company for eight years. James, while being a proficient worker, tends
to wait until the last minute to get his work done. Ashlee works more steadily and keeps on top
of her work daily. Ashlee complains that she feels she has to worry now about his work and her
own. And, because they rely on each other for certain tasks, she is uncomfortable with waiting
until an hour or so before a deadline when they are forced to collaborate. Because of the conflict,
James is missing more work and you suspect it’s because he wants to avoid Ashlee and her
wrath.
Question: Keeping the situation in mind, which conflict resolution strategy would you adopt to solve
this problem?
