 * Conflict management styles

Lead
This is an entirely new article added to Wikipedia. The lead information is concise, but does not explicitly provide a definition for the topic or detail the information covered in the rest of the article. I would recommend removing the heading, as the lead does not require one. In addition, I would suggest adding an introduction sentence that defines the topic before explaining its importance, which you did well. To conclude the section you could indicate that there are several styles to be explored in the articles, and reference the other topics (steps, studies, critiques).

Content
The content added is all relevant and current. All appropriate concepts from the topic are included in the article. I would recommend adding more information to the Studies and Critiques sections to add to the real-life application component of the topic. Perhaps a corporation employing the styles in their leadership teams would be a useful analysis.

Tone and Balance
The included content is neutral, and presents the topic in an impartial way. For sentences that may be leading readers to a conclusion, consider adding a reference to back it up. For example, "Conflict management is beneficial in improving the quality of the work place and building stronger relationships with employees or leaders" could be seen as an opinion, so having a study or journal to cite would help.

Sources and References
The sources are current, linked, and applicable to the article. I would recommend augmenting the article with additional references from the scholarly community. I've found a great start to be searching on Google Scholar, then looking to a relevant article's citations to learn more from those sources too.

One source you might consider is: Antonioni, D. (1998). Relationship between the big five personality factors and conflict management styles. International Journal of Conflict Management. 9:4, 336-355. https://doi.org/10.1108/eb022814. He studies the intersection between the two abstracts, much like you mention in your Studies section.

Organization
The article was very easy to read. I appreciated the succinctness while still providing pertinent information. My recommendations would focus mainly on the organization of the article. Instead of a separate "Background" section, I might recommend consolidating it into the lead section. In addition, you might change "Studies on conflict management" to "Applications" to more closely follow the organization of similar articles. In general, the headers can be shortened to only their content, instead of the added "conflict management" text or colons. Also, the "Steps to Managing a Conflict" section might benefit from being turned into a numbered list as it follows a sequential order. That way you wouldn't have so many sub-headings in the section as well.

The content was well-written. I would recommend reading it aloud to confirm commas are in appropriate places and that there are no fragments. Also, "Critiques" should not have an apostrophe.

Images and Media
Images and media were not added to the article.

New Article
The setup of the article was appropriate, and similar to those of similar articles. The article presented background information, details, and critiques. I would recommend linking to other related articles when possible to make your article more discoverable. Perhaps the study you referenced or the styles themselves have applicable Wikipedia articles.

There were 5 sources referenced in the article. These sources were applicable to the subject, but could be expanded upon to back up the assertions made in the article. According to Wikipedia's training materials, all information should be attributable to an independent source.

Overall impressions
This was a new article, and a great foundation in the topic. As was prompted by our assignment, someone new to the topic would be well-informed after reading the article. The information added was clear and easy to follow. My main recommendations relate to the organization of the article: providing a synopsis of the content in the Lead, adjusting the headings, and linking to additional articles and sources.
