There is a divide (which sometimes leads to open conflict) in Alberta between those who support the oilsands and those who believe there is not enough attention paid to the negative effects of such rapid development. Former premier of Alberta, Peter Lougheed, agreed that Alberta's oil sands needed to be developed, but he felt that the pace should be better managed than has been by more recent governments. Lougheed's conflict resolution style could be seen as...
a. "focus on winning."
b. "keep the relationship smooth by placating the other side."
c. "viewing conflict as a set of problems to be solved where everyone gains something."
d. "trying to divert attention to other issues."
e. "deferring to authorities."
