• **Competing (Goal: I win, you lose)**

A competitive personality comes off as forceful, dictatorial, confrontational, and threatening in others. A competitive style is an effort to exert pressure and achieve authority at the expense of the opposing party. When you need to execute an unpopular choice, make a speedy decision, the decision is crucial in a crisis, or it's critical to let people know how important an issue is to you standing up for your rights, using a competitive style of conflict management may be acceptable. The major drawback of utilizing this approach is that relationships may be irreparably damaged, which may inspire other parties to utilize subversive tactics to further their interests.

People have become nothing more than if you are not with me, you.
