Paths Through Conflict

The Critical Yet Overlooked Skillset

Of all the skills and behaviors essential for effective performance, the one that scares the most people into inaction and disengagement is conflict. To increase the ability for and the likelihood that our clients will take on this critical topic, OKA has developed a number of different approaches to conflict. We have put together the following videos to help you tie each of three popular and powerful models to the topic of conflict–Type, Emotional Intelligence and Thomas & Kilmann. We hope you find the data useful. This first short video sets up the series.

Type & Conflict

OKA was founded on and made its initial reputation on its expertise with Type and the Myers-Briggs, which makes a great conflict tool.

EQ & Conflict

Emotional Intelligence also gives a number of useful access points to effective conflict work.

Thomas & Kilmann–The Primary Source

One of the original approaches to conflict, remains one of the best—Thomas and Kilmann.
