[Verse 1]
When teams collide and tensions rise
Project managers must be wise
Six sources bring the fighting storm
Schedules tight and deadlines worn
Priorities clash, resources thin
Technical minds won't give in
[Chorus]
Five ways to handle every fight
Choose your mode and do it right
Collaborate for win-win gains
Compromise shares all the pains
Withdraw to cool the heated scene
Smooth it out, keep relations clean
Force your way when time is short
Know your style, know when to resort
[Verse 2]
Cost concerns and personality
Create conflict naturally
Thomas-Kilmann shows the way
Five approaches for the fray
Problem-solve when time allows
Find solutions, make the vows
[Chorus]
Five ways to handle every fight
Choose your mode and do it right
Collaborate for win-win gains
Compromise shares all the pains
Withdraw to cool the heated scene
Smooth it out, keep relations clean
Force your way when time is short
Know your style, know when to resort
[Bridge]
When stakes are high and trust runs deep
Collaborate's the goal to keep
When deadlines loom and pressure's strong
Force direct but not too long
Accommodate when harmony
Matters more than victory
Compromise when both must bend
Withdraw when tempers need to mend
[Verse 3]
Escalation climbs the ladder
Makes the conflict even madder
Context tells you which to choose
Situational cues you'll use
Relationship or task at hand
Help you take the proper stand
[Chorus]
Five ways to handle every fight
Choose your mode and do it right
Collaborate for win-win gains
Compromise shares all the pains
Withdraw to cool the heated scene
Smooth it out, keep relations clean
Force your way when time is short
Know your style, know when to resort
[Outro]
Project managers lead the way
Managing conflict every day
Know your sources, know your modes
Navigate those bumpy roads
