In our management class we got an opportunity to determine a plan how our next exams will go. Through the group decision making we had to choose our own plan. To come up with ideas that all people would agree we needed to use collaborating and compromise types of conflict handling. I thought it was a difficult task to accomplish however we did a good job.
In the beginning I felt so enthusiastic with all the ideas that we were coming up with. But as long we were brainstorming the list was growing. At some point I felt like we will never decide something particular, because the list was too long and I didn’t see anything that could work personally for me. Time was passing by and it was getting closer and closer until the end of the class. I got so frustrating at one moment that I felt careless about the result (avoidance). It seemed impossible to come to one decision, because all people are different and have different needs. People were ready to choose something that wouldn’t work for me. I was ready compromise. Well as a result we didn’t come up with anything at hour second part at decision making. We chose something better: we left final decision making to our professor, which I think is very fare to everyone.
I just hope that we wouldn’t have time pressure. I think we could come up with some better ideas. We could collaborate more and decide something better than we did.
