What Trainers Say About Style Matters

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.
