TKI – the compromising mode plus a wrap-up

Compromising appears right in the middle of an imaginary image of two axes showing degrees of assertiveness and cooperativeness because it is moderate, not extreme, with regard to both of those characteristics. Compromising gives partial satisfaction to both parties. It may mean splitting the difference between two ideal outcomes or seeking a quick middle-ground way to reach an agreement. Less work than collaborating, and less satisfaction, too. It might be 50/50 or some other distribution. When collaboration is successful under the TKI model, both parties are able to achieve what they want.The TKI model is not set up to mandate – or even suggest – that one mode is always the right one or the wrong one. The model, at its core, can help us discover which ones we might use more and which ones we might use less – to our benefit. Learn more at: https://kilmanndiagnostics.com/overview-thomas-kilmann-conflict-mode-instrument-tki/Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?
