Introduction to Conflict Styles
This report tallies your answers in the conflict style inventory to show your patterns in conflict. It’s designed around two key choices underlying our responses in conflict:
|
Goals |
Relationship |
|---|---|
|
How hard do we push for things we want? We can have high focus on goals (regarding an issue, decision, or task) or low focus.  |
How hard do we try to please others and keep relationships strong? We can have low focus on relationships or high focus.
|
These two factors interact to give five styles of responding to conflict, each with important benefits, each with 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.
occasionally, but aim to choose them, not fall mindlessly into them. If you are easily pushed into red reactions in conflict, you lose out on the power of the green responses. The circle chart above shows your conflict style scores in two settings, Calm and Storm. We'll look first at your Storm numbers when early resolution of conflict has failed and stress is high.
