Conflict Capability
How do you show up to conflict?
Have a difficult, conflict-capable conversations is a learnable skill. Conflict refers to any situation in which people have incompatible interests, goals, principles, or feelings. Conflict in life is inevitable. Rather than thinking about conflict as something that needs to be managed, how can we engage with conflict in a way that leads to better and more creative solutions?
Although conflict itself is inevitable, ineffective and harmful responses to conflict can be avoided, and effective and beneficial responses to conflict can be learned. That proposition is at
the heart of the Conflict Dynamics Profile (CDP).
We integrate the Conflict Dynamics Profile into our programs and assessment work to:
- Help leaders strengthen their constructive responses to conflict,
- Reduce the harmful impacts of destructive responses,
- Deepen understanding about the triggers that fire up conflict, and
- Build self-command muscle to make better chooses for engaging productively with conflict
