Effective communication is a critical skill—especially when conversations get tough. Whether you're navigating workplace disputes, addressing performance issues, or managing difficult personalities, your conflict style plays a huge role in how these conversations unfold.
Why Your Conflict Style Matters
Everyone approaches conflict differently. Some people avoid it, some tackle it head-on, and others try to find a middle ground. Knowing your own conflict style—and understanding others'—can help you handle difficult conversations with confidence, clarity, and better outcomes.
This quick self-assessment will help you:
- Identify your natural conflict style—Do you avoid, compete, accommodate, compromise, or collaborate?
- Recognise the strengths & weaknesses of your approach in different workplace situations.
- Learn practical strategies to adapt your style for better results in professional and personal interactions.
