Quick Videos on your Style Matters Report

Your conflict style reflects what you focus on.   Do you give priority to your goals (the issues or tasks important to you) or to the relationship?  There's no "correct" focus  that is always right.  We have to choose based on the situation. Most people aren't even aware they are making a choice about this.   But other people are.  Our words, actions, and tone of voice often reveal more than we realize. Style Matters helps you see yourself as others experience you and make a choice...

Conflict isn't easy, but it can make valuable contributions to individuals, teams, and organizations.  This video reviews how to use your Style Matters report so you experience more benefits and less pain from conflict.

In reviewing your conflict styles, start with a careful look at the benefits of the styles you are using. Even if you don't like the way you've been dealing with conflict, there are potential benefits from those responses.  Appreciating them is a good place to start, especially if you're hoping to revise your patterns.  Your life and relationships will be different if you "Lead with awareness of strengths".

If you rely on only one or two styles for all conflicts, there's trouble ahead.  Instead, diversify your conflict responses.
