Yes. There is no charge to take our Conflict Management Styles Quiz.
Conflict management is the practice of identifying and handling conflicts in a fair, effective, and efficient manner. It involves the use of strategies to limit the negative aspects of conflict and to enhance the positive outcomes for all parties involved.
It’s a critical skill for maintaining productive relationships at work and in our personal lives.
The test is based around the five conflict management styles introduced by Kenneth Thomas and Ralph Kilmann. They are:
• Collaborating
• Competing
• Avoiding
• Accommodating
• Compromising
We are not affiliated to the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Styles Inventory principles, and this is not their test. We have created 15 questions around his work.
There isn’t a definitive “best” conflict resolution style.
The effectiveness of a style can vary based on the situation, the individuals involved, and the nature of the conflict itself. The key is to be adaptable and choose the style that best suits the specific circumstances. Understanding and mastering all the styles can help ensure a balanced and effective approach to managing conflict.
Resolving conflict in the workplace involves open communication, understanding, and respect.
It starts with identifying the root cause of the conflict, then having a constructive conversation where each party can express their viewpoints. It’s important to listen empathetically, respect differing perspectives, and find a mutually agreeable solution.
Training in conflict management can equip you with the skills and strategies to handle these situations effectively.
Most of our
Management Training include conflict management because it a vital skill.
The Management Skills Courses that we run throughout the UK have a conflict management section where you will learn how to improve each section.
