Dinner with friends. . problem solving my way?

Last night I saw a dear friend, for the first time in a long time.  She and her husband walked in to the restaurant.  I had just started eating so it wasn't too late for them to join me in a meal.

I had been at a workshop that day on how to be the best boss. I discovered through an exercise that my way of managing conflict is mainly three approaches: a) force a solution; b) avoid the conflict completely, or c) problem-solve with the interested parties.  I scored a zero on "smoothing" which is what many of my colleagues scored high on.

My friend laughed and said it was because I'm "half European."
