"Let's talk about it and come up with a new solution that works for both of us"

Maintain Harmony

Expanded range of possible solutions. Achieve win/win outcomes.

"This issue is very important. There can be no compromise"

"I will give up what I want and let the person have/do what they want"

Win/lose power struggle. Firm stance. Works well when there are safety issues.

"We will each have to give up something to resolve this conflict"

Maintain neutrality - withdraws from the situation
