Question
The Thomas-Kilmann model is a practical tool in conflict resolution as it helps individuals understand their preferred conflict-handling style and adapt it to the situation. The model identifies five primary conflict-handling modes: competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding, and accommodating. Each mode is based on a combination of assertiveness and cooperativeness. For instance, in a competing mode, which is characterized by high assertiveness and low cooperativeness, the focus is to get one's perspective accepted. By understanding these modes, individuals can choose the most effective approach to resolve conflicts, leading to improved workplace dynamics.
