One of our all time Best Sellers just got better!
Newly Revised Edition. The instrument is now in full colour and is fully compatible with the previous version. This simple and easy to use conflict instrument assesses five conflict-handling styles that are effective ways of dealing with conflict. With the Dealing with Conflict Instrument (DWCI) it is easy for participants to learn the positive uses of each style and the most appropriate conflict style to use in any given specific business circumstance.
Why you need Dealing With Conflict
Most of us are less skilled at handling conflict than we should be. Although studies show that a negotiating behaviour is usually the best response to a conflict situation, negotiation is a difficult endeavour—one that requires considerable skill and thought. The normal negotiating behaviour, as typically practised in business and social contexts, does not generally produce high levels of satisfaction for either participant. The Dealing with Conflict Instrument will help change this by encouraging conflicting parties to shift to a more collaborative style in order to find and pursue shared interests, creating a win/win outcome.
Improve the outcome of conflict situations in your organisation
The DWCI is a significant improvement over conventional conflict assessments. It shortens scoring time, produces clearer and more user-friendly results, and includes helpful support material. It is compatible with most existing learning resources and is an easy way to update your programmes.
The Dealing with Conflict Instrument five conflict-handling styles.
• accommodate
• avoid
• compromise
• compete
• collaborate.
These five styles encompass all the effective ways of dealing with conflict. By completing the DWCI, you will learn about your own natural style tendencies. Narrative in the assessment booklet enables participants to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of each style.
