Thomas-Kilmann Instrument

The Thomas-Kilmann Instrument (TKI) is a tool that helps individuals understand their preferred ways of handling conflicts. It identifies five main styles: competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding, and accommodating. Each style reflects different approaches to resolving disagreements, balancing assertiveness and cooperativeness. By recognizing your default style, you can better manage conflicts and adapt your approach based on the situation, leading to more effective communication and problem-solving. Essentially, TKI serves as a guide to improve interpersonal dynamics and achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.
