Greetings!
As you might surmise, the 16 personality types
respond to conflict according to their preferences. The
Thomas-Kilmann Model describes five different
approaches to conflict according to how people think
about the importance of a task versus the importance
of their relationship with people they are working with.
The main point of the model is to encourage people to
be purposeful in how they confront and collaborate
with others, rather than relying on their natural - and
often inappropriate tendencies.
| COMPETING, COLLABORATING, COMPROMISING, AVOIDING, ACCOMMODATING... |
 |

Thomas and Kilmann identified two dimensions of
behavior involved in managing conflict with another
party: concern for one's own interests and
concern for the other person's interests. They
labeled these Assertiveness and
Cooperativeness, respectively. Depending on
the degree to which a person proportions his or her
energy into each of these dimensions, one of the
styles will be engaged.
The 16 personality types respond to conflict according
to their preferences. According to the
Thomas-Kilmann Model, none of the styles are
inherently good or bad. Each is appropriate for some
situations and each is also inappropriate or less
effective for other
situations.
The model describes five different approaches to
conflict according to how people think about the
importance of a task versus the importance of their
relationship with the people they are working with -
Competing, Collaborating, Compromising,
Avoiding, Accommodating. The main point of the
model is to encourage people to be purposeful in how
they confront and collaborate with others, rather than
relying on their natural - and often inappropriate
tendencies.

What clients are saying about us.....
I just wanted to let you know I am still using The
PEOPLE Process with great results and enthusiasm
from my students. I recently have been working with
our speech classes centered around communication
styles and group dynamics. The PEOPLE Process,
coupled with some activities I have them do, really
generate a lot of conversation and forces them to look
at their behavior in group interaction through a whole
new lens. I will be incorporating The PEOPLE Process
into my career exploration class this fall. I'm looking
forward to working with my students using this tool as
compared to my "old" MBTI DVD. Your product is really
interactive which I believe makes all the difference in
their understanding of type. Thanks again for this
wonderful product!

...a great tool to help team members understand
themselves and their teammates better. My clients
love it because it has been delightfully accurate and
is a practical "take-away" that they can share with
the significant people in their lives. I highly
recommend it as a key tool for facilitators to use to
assess personality type preferences.

We have found this product to be effective in
training diplomats in negotiation and crisis
management skills, retrenched fishermen in job
seeking skills, managers in hi-tech organizations in
career development, hospital emergency-room staff
in managing conflict encounters, civil servants in time
management skills, trainers in advanced facilitation
skills, and entrepreneurs in new business start-ups.
Without exception, participants have been able to
relate easily to the use of the system, are amazed at
the uncanny accuracy of the personality type profile,
and have been able to apply The PEOPLE Process in
their daily work.
