Avoiding

Avoiding in conflict and negotiation refers to a strategy where an individual deliberately stays away from addressing a disagreement or confrontation. This approach can be useful when the issue is minor, emotions are high, or when the potential costs of engaging in the conflict outweigh the benefits. While it helps to prevent escalation in the short term, consistently avoiding conflict can lead to unresolved issues and frustration over time. Essentially, it’s a way of choosing not to confront problems, which may provide temporary relief but can result in growing tensions if not handled eventually.
