A simple movie night turns into a three-way genre stand-off… but the Unprepared4™ crew finds a solution. Not a shared solution, but still a solution.

Leadership Discussion Prompt:

🔍 Core Theme
How teams navigate conflicting preferences using different conflict-resolution styles.
🧠 Leadership Takeaway
Groups often default to one of four approaches when resolving disagreements:
• Avoid: Pretend the conflict isn’t there (arguing but never deciding).
• Compete: Push for your choice to win (each character choosing their genre).
• Compromise: Everyone gives a little (but here, no one wants to).
• Collaborate: Find a creative solution where everyone fully wins (each person sees their own movie but still shares the night together).
This strip highlights that collaboration isn’t always about doing the same thing — sometimes it’s about finding a solution where everyone gets what they truly want without harming the group dynamic.
