Description

What is your conflict style? Kenneth Thomas and Ralph Kilmann developed a conflict mode instrument and defined five conflict styles. This session will provide an overview of the conflict styles and a deeper understanding of the connection between relationships and outcomes in achieving desired results. Participants will explore their own reaction to real-life situations and examine the role of context and identity in addressing conflict. This session will focus on professional interactions, although participants often find application to their personal interactions as well.

This training includes access to the TKI Conflict Style Assessment that is included in the registration.
