Answer:

Smoothing conflict resolution

Explanation:

Smoothing (also known as accomodating). Smoothing emphasizes the common interests of the conflicting parties and tries not to emphasize their differences. The Smoothing technique also emphasizes the adoption of shared viewpoints on certain issues to help move forward towards a consensus and temporary resolution of the conflict. In this case, the project manager accommodates the other party so that they can both move on and get back to work on the project. Smoothing is often used by project managers when it is important to provide temporary relief douse the situation from the conflict or buy time until you are in a better position to respond and/or push back against the conflicting party. It is also used when the conflicting party “stands their ground” and refuses to budge on their viewpoint. In these cases, it is simply better for the project manager to accommodate this person since continuing the conflicting conversation would cause more harm than good to the project or project team members.
