TKI (Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument)

The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) is a tool that helps people understand how they approach conflict. It identifies five common ways to handle disagreements: competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding, and accommodating. By recognizing their default style, individuals can better choose the most appropriate approach for different situations, promoting more effective communication and problem-solving. The TKI is widely used in workplaces and personal settings to improve conflict management, teamwork, and interpersonal relationships.
