Resource Description

This resource includes an assessment to help you identify how you tend to respond to conflict.  “Your conflict style represents your inclination, or natural tendency, when faced with a situation of conflict. Knowing the five main conflict styles can help you understand the choices you have for managing conflict. And knowing your own conflict style can help you identify how you might want to approach conflict differently––how you might better manage it, depending on the nature of your relationship with the person with whom you are conflict, the amount of time you have to manage the conflict, and the importance of the issue to you. There is a time and a place to use each style and each style has its advantages and limitations. By being aware of your own conflict style and being able to identify the style of the person with whom you are in conflict, you can better pursue a mutually agreeable outcome for all parties involved.”
