What conflict triggers may have been playing out?How did you deal with this person - did you find yourself leaning more toward aggressive or non-assertive behaviors? According to the eText, how could you have resolved the conflict better? Considering Robert Maddux' five different behavioral styles that can be used during conflict situations (pages 291, 292), which one of the five styles might have worked best in the particular situation you were faced with? **Note that in order to answer the discussion board correctly and efficiently it is important to have gone thru all of the weeks work in the module, readings, discussion notes, and etc... before answering discussion board.
