When is the best time to adopt accommodating style according to Thomas-Kilmann conflict mode instrument?

According to Thomas-Kilmann conflict model instrument, there are 5 conflict management styles:

Accommodating is an unassertive and cooperative approach to resolving the conflict.

Accommodating means conceding to the other party with little debate or fight, not challenging or

strongly putting forward your own point of view and generally giving and yielding to the other party's

point of view. Accommodating is best used when:

1. When others can resolve the conflict more effectively

2. When the issue is much more important to the other person than to yourself - to satisfy the needs

of others and to show you are reasonable

3. To build up social credit for later issues which are important to you

4. When continued competition would only damage your cause

5. When preserving harmony and avoiding disruption are especially important

6. To aid in the managerial development of subordinates by allowing them to experiment and learn

from their own mistakes
