Why each option
Forcing as a conflict resolution technique describes a situation where one party asserts their will and dictates the outcome to the other party, leaving no room for negotiation or compromise.
Working out an agreement acceptable to both sides describes compromising or collaborating, not forcing.
Not addressing the conflict describes avoiding or withdrawing, not forcing.
Forcing, also known as competing, is a conflict resolution technique where one party seeks to satisfy their own interests at the expense of the other party. It involves using authority or power to impose a solution, making the other side comply without their full agreement.
Focusing on common interests describes collaborating or compromising, not forcing.
