Correct Answer

Kareem might have used the avoidance style of conflict handling to have allowed this situation to escalate to this point.In short,he may have denied that the two individuals had a personality conflict or simply delayed handling it because it was so longstanding he felt it would resolve itself as it had in the past. Kareem might want to consider collaboration or compromise as his conflict handling style with Omar and Nejah but it will take time and patience to use either because of how much ill-will has built up between the two.In compromise,Kareem will need to find a middle ground for the two where he accounts for and assists the pair in recognizing the desires of each and how those wants can be expressed and then both rescinded a bit.Kareem must be cautious in making sure each party gives in the same amount as the other and that each party accepts and perceives the fallback in position to be equivalent.An alternative approach to this conflict scenario might be collaboration.In this scenario both parties will argue for their respective positions,personalities taken out of the mix,supporting each position with facts and rationale.Then,with Kareem's oversight,both sides will attempt to secure a win-win situation.Again the time and effort Kareem might invest in trying such a conflict resolution needs to be considered. The competition style of conflict handling would not be effective in this scenario since the two parties involved are already competitive.Adding Kareem's competitive style would only make it seem like he is playing favorites further escalating the situation.The accommodation style may also prove to be less effective in this scenario since it involves one side giving up a personal goal to facilitate the other.Since the feud between these two is so long-standing,this style might take so much time to initiate and carry through to fruition that it is a pointless exercise.

Interpersonal conflicts should be centered around individual differences,not ideas,to avoid conflict escalation.
