    Mary, you're correct that the survey needs more choices.

    I have found that people do not have the skills needed to have healthy conflict. No one taught us including parents and schools. It is my passion to teach these skills, especially to women who tend to go silence when they really need to speak up.

    There IS a way to do this respectfully in a way that improves the relationship! You just need to learn the skills and do some deliberate practice to get good at it and natural!

    I think there should have been some additional choices. If you live and work long enough and are in a leadership position I would venture a guess that you have encounters more than one of the choices above.
    I have seen projects/productivity hurt by conflict, I have seen situations really improve once the conflict is out on the table and addressed, etc. Just a thought.
