Win-Lose One party achieves its goals at the expense of the other
Power is the main force is such situations Physical power Authority Sometimes win-lose is necessary When resources are little When other party insists on defeating you/self defense When other party is behaving in a CLEARLY wrong way
Lose-Lose Neither side is satisfied Common way of resolving conflicts Ego comes in
Both parties get SOME of what they wanted Both sacrifice part of their goals Not always an ideal option Compromise
A solution that satisfies the needs of everyone Working together is important here Some compromises are a type of win-win But ideally both parties should get what they want (to call it a win-win) Win-Win
