Please complete the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Instrument (TKI), but before you do, there are two rules: (1) Answer every question even if no options appeal to you, pick one; (2) focus on only ONE relationship you have with ONE person you work with or have had conflict with. If you answer these questions in general, you will overlap the conflict styles that we apply differently with different people. Once you answer the 30 questions, transfer your answers onto the answer key (TKI Key). Find links in the readings for this week. Once you have completed the TKI and transferred your answers to the TKI key, add up your scores in each column vertically and come to a set of 5 scores on the bottom of the page.Using the highest score only – explain how this particular style reflects, or does not accurately reflect, your relationship with this individual and the way you engage in conflict with this individual.If your highest score is part of a tie, this means you typically choose one tactic, then when that is exhausted, you switch to the other as needed, determine the order in which you use dual tactics in the case of a tie.
Provide a 3 page discussion on how you interpret the results, how this impacts your relationship with this individual, what their style might be, and what you can do to perhaps improve this approach to work more cooperatively with this individual.
