Kilmann Organizational Conflict Mode Instrument

The Kilmann Organizational Conflict Mode Instrument is a tool used to identify how individuals or organizations handle conflicts. It categorizes conflict management styles based on two factors: assertiveness (pushing for your own needs) and cooperativeness (considering others' needs). The five main styles are Competing, Collaborating, Compromising, Avoiding, and Accommodating. Understanding these styles helps organizations address conflicts effectively by choosing appropriate strategies to resolve disagreements while maintaining relationships and achieving goals. It promotes awareness of different approaches to conflict, encouraging more constructive and adaptive responses.
