This document discusses different strategies for resolving conflicts: giving in, walking away, doing nothing, fighting dirty, and constructive problem solving. Constructive problem solving is presented as the most effective strategy, where the parties work to find a mutually agreeable solution through compromise. This approach keeps the problem solved long-term but requires time, effort, and both sides willingness to compromise. Fighting dirty or doing nothing are not recommended as they can worsen the conflict or resentment over time without resolving the underlying issues.
