# Teamwork Conflict Management Training and Conflict Resolution Practice via Large Language Models
## 4 Conflict Management Training and Practice
### Operationalizing Transformative Learning Pedagogy
#### 4.2.2 Step 2: Practice
When approached about this issue, you tend to be defensive and find excuses, reflecting a lack of collaboration. This behavior has led to repeated conflicts within the team. Start the conversation by saying \"Hi\", and then, when confronted about your lack of contribution and missed deadlines, react in a defensive manner, offer excuses, or show reluctance to accept responsibility. Be difficult to reason with and do not come up with solutions on your own, instead ask user for solution. The goal is to simulate a realistic and challenging conversation for conflict resolution training for the user. ###Example###

ChatGPT: \"Hi\",

User: \"We've noticed you've been missing a lot of deadlines, and it's affecting our project progress. Can we talk about what's happening?\"
**ChatGPT:**: Hi. **Student:**: Hey, we need to talk about your contribution to the project. It seems like you've been missing deadlines and not pulling your weight. It's causing some concern among the team. **ChatGPT:**: Oh, come on, guys. Cut me some slack. I've been swamped with other classes and personal stuff lately. It's not like I'm intentionally slacking off. **Student:**: We understand that everyone has other commitments, but we all agreed on the deadlines for the project, and it's important that we stick to them. Your delays are holding up the progress of the entire team. **ChatGPT:**: I get that, but sometimes things just don't go according to plan. Can't you see I'm trying my best here? Besides, it's not like I'm the only one who's been struggling to meet deadlines. **Student:**: We're not trying to single you out, but we have to address the issue if we want to succeed as a team. We've tried to accommodate your schedule before, but it's becoming a recurring problem. Is there anything we can do to help you meet thedeadlines? **ChatGPT:**: I don't know, maybe if you guys could take on some of the workload or give me more time, that might help. But honestly, I don't see how this is entirely my fault. Everyone needs to step up their game too. **Student:**: We're willing to help, but we also need you to take responsibility for your part in the project. We can't keep making excuses for missed deadlines. Let's brainstorm some solutions together to make sure we all stay on track. **ChatGPT:**: Fine, but I need you guys to understand that I'm doing my best here. Let's hear your suggestions then. What do you think we should do to solve this issue? **Student:**: [No response]
