Collaboration vs Competition
When a group collaborates there ideas to solve a problem, it becomes a win win sitaution. Everyone inputs what they feel would be best in the situation. With these ideas the group picks which ones they feel would work best for their group. In this form of communication people are more conciensus of how others feel and take the time to really listen and ackowledge the others ideas and oppinions. In a competition environment it seems people are more ruthless. Everyone agrees to play by the same rules and there is some team work involved. People can get a bit out of control and with a group of competitive people, people will not be as considerate of others. I really prefer the collaboration method to get ther job done. It is important to get your group involved and if you can get a solution that is a combination of several ideas than I think the group will be more effective with solving the problem.

I enjoyed your post very much and could not agree more. Collaboration is a desired way for a group to deal with conflict in their group. In this win-win situation both sides are very well understood and are open to the process taking place. Collaboration is the best form of conflict resolution as well as the most difficult and time consuming, it takes time to fully understand both sides of a conflict and at times can test your patience in trying to fully understand a position so that this conflict can be laid to rest without further distraction to the group.
