"Gini Graham Scott takes the mystery out of why we have conflicts
and provides a straightforward way to approach conflicts. When I
got to the section on four ways of dealing with conflicts --
avoiding, accommodating, collaborating, and confronting -- I could
recall instances of each type in my own life and better understand
why they unfolded the way they did. The book almost made me long
for a conflict to try out its theories -- pretty impressive since
I'm generally an 'avoider.'" --Marci Alboher, "Shifting Careers"
