The accommodating style is one of the most passive conflict resolution styles. With this style, one of the parties in conflict gives up what they want so that the other party can have what they want. In general, this style is not very effective, but it is appropriate in certain scenarios.

This style is appropriate when:

• Maintaining the relationship is more important than winning
• The issue at hand is very important to the other person but is not important to you

This style is not appropriate when:

• The issue is important to you
• Accommodating will not permanently solve the problem
