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! Clayton
Robinson, Counselor Metropolitan Community College - Maple Woods Kansas

"Our team received very complimentary Contractor
Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) ratings across the board form the
U.S. Air Force. The high CPAR ratings were partly credited to The PEOPLE
Process Team Skills Training." R.N., California
...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. Ruth Urban, M.S., Certified Professional Facilitator, The
Urban Group, Las Vegas, Nevada
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. David Kenny, Director, PKA Training &
Development, Ireland
