Conflict Management

TKI Booklet

The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) is the number one best-selling instrument for conflict styles. This easy-to-use, self-scoring exercise is fast and powerful. Participants select responses from 30 statement pairs to discover which of five conflict-handling styles is their preferred “mode.” Interpretation and feedback materials help them learn about the most appropriate uses for each mode and how to increase their comfort level with their less-used modes.

The TKI is available in either a self-scoring booklet or an online format.
 

“At Baker Hughes we use the TKI with our employees at the supervisory level to help them understand how they approach their employees in a conflict situation. It is really useful to make them aware that there are different ways of approaching conflict and that there is no wrong or right answer but that the cleverest thing to do is to be flexible enough to adapt your style to the situation.”
— Marcela Castagnino, Sr Training Specialist LAR — Baker Hughes
