Competing Conflict Style: Characteristics and Implications PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 21-slide Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) PowerPoint presentation, provides an overview of the "Competing" conflict handling style as part of the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI). It defines this style as a power-oriented approach where individuals assert their position, often at the expense of others. The focus is clearly on winning, as indicated by the phrase "I win, you lose." This suggests a zero-sum perspective on conflict resolution, where one party's gain is another's loss.

The slide emphasizes the importance of personal goals in this style, rating it as high. This indicates that individuals who adopt this approach prioritize their objectives over collaborative outcomes. Conversely, the importance of relationships is rated low, highlighting that those who compete may neglect interpersonal dynamics in favor of achieving their goals.

The description section elaborates on the characteristics of individuals who utilize this style. They are often perceived as aggressive and confrontational, which can lead to a toxic atmosphere if not managed properly. The slide notes that this style is suitable for situations requiring quick decisions, particularly when the stakes are high for the individual. However, it also warns of significant downsides, particularly the potential for damaging relationships irreparably.

Overall, this slide serves as a crucial reminder for leaders and teams about the implications of adopting a competing style in conflict situations. Understanding these dynamics can help in making informed decisions about when to engage in this style and when to consider more collaborative approaches.

This slide is part of the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) PowerPoint presentation.
