INTRODUCTION TO CONFLICT STYLES
This report tallies your answers to describe your patterns in conflict. It’s designed around two key choices:
Goals | Relationship |
---|---|
How hard do we push for things we want? We can have high focus or low focus on our goals (regarding an issue, decision, or task). |
How hard do we try to please others and keep relationships strong? We can have low focus or high focus on relationships. |
These two factors interact to give five styles of responding to conflict. Each has important benefits, each has significant costs if over-used. Your scores indicate the styles you use most and least. You can view a short visual presentation of the styles here and review the benefits and dangers of each style here.
