Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI^®)

The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI®) tool is the world’s best-selling tool for helping people understand how different conflict-handling styles affect interpersonal and group dynamics—and for empowering them to choose the appropriate style for any situation. The TKI tool assesses an individual’s typical behavior in conflict situations and describes it along two dimensions: assertiveness and cooperativeness. It provides detailed information about how that individual can effectively use five different conflict-handling modes or styles.

Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI^®) can be added to any certificate program.
Individual classes that are part of a specific certificate can be mixed and matched with other classes to create a “custom” certificate program.

Custom topics that are not listed can be developed with an instructor to address specific group needs.
