A collaborative communication style seeks to find common ground, share common interests, and benefit both parties. This is done to achieve a goal while strengthening bonds and winning trust. A good example of this would be a town hall meeting where farmers and factory workers try to work out a deal where the factories buy the farmers' produce, and the farmers receive payment.
A confrontational approach focuses on asserting one group's needs, goals, or ambitions above another's and/or in direct opposition. This is done to assert authority and win a desired outcome. A good example of this would be instead of the farmers and factory workers trying to make a deal, the farmers insist that they have a harder job and deserve more money, while the factory workers disagree and demand that the farmers work with what they have.
