HRDQ Conflict Style Assessment and Training

Here are the five suggested Conflict Style Assessments and Training resources offered:

1. Conflict Strategies Inventory

Our Conflict Strategies Inventory assessment serves as a great introduction to the different ways people handle disputes. Based on 35 years of research, we’ve narrowed down five primary conflict styles: integrating, compromising, competing, smoothing, and avoiding. Through this assessment, participants will learn about each style and discover the one that’s unique to them.

Participants will dive into the strengths and weaknesses of their conflict styles and learn how to flex to meet the needs of differing types. After working through the material, each participant should have a great foundation in conflict that they can start applying in the workplace.

2. Team Conflict Strategies Inventory

Conflicts sometimes arise between teams rather than individuals. Our Team Conflict Strategies Inventory assessment addresses this scenario. The material is designed to help teams reach mutually beneficial agreements through respectful communication, thereby boosting productivity and morale in the workplace. Equipping groups with effective conflict resolution procedures supports smoother office operations.

3. Five Dysfunctions of a Team

Patrick Lencioni is recognized for his expertise in team management. He delivers global presentations to help organizations optimize team performance. With the Five Dysfunctions of a Team assessment, participants access the same team-building insights he shares with his clients.

Lencioni highlights five critical elements of successful teams: trust, conflict, commitment, accountability, and results. This workshop enables teams to identify which fundamentals may be underdeveloped. Gaps in any of these areas may contribute to organizational tension. Leaders will be equipped to develop actionable plans to address these areas and set clear team expectations, fostering measurable progress while building trust and minimizing future conflicts.

4. Negotiating Style Profile

Negotiation represents a vital component of conflict management. The Negotiating Style Profile assessment serves as an introduction to essential negotiation skills. Contrary to the belief that negotiation is about defeating an opponent, effective negotiation requires establishing constructive relationships with others. This skill can be developed through practice and is integral to achieving favorable results through agreement.

5. Trust: The Ultimate Test

Trust is the essential foundation of every relationship. In an organization, for example, we trust our supervisors to have our best interest in mind, and we trust our teammates to complete their portion of a project.

When you build trust in the workplace, communication flows, collaboration increases, and conflict decreases. Trust: The Ultimate Test is a powerful tool that can be used for both team building and conflict resolution training. It helps facilitators and learners explore how to build trust in the workplace – without becoming defensive.

Take the assessment and see how trust soars and conflict lessens in your organization.
