Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument

The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) is a tool used to assess an individual's preferred style of handling conflict. It identifies five conflict management modes: competing, accommodating, avoiding, collaborating, and compromising, based on two dimensions: assertiveness and cooperativeness. By understanding their own and others' conflict styles, individuals can improve communication and collaboration, leading to more effective conflict resolution. The TKI is widely used in organizational settings and personal development to enhance interpersonal relationships.
