Style Matters: The Kraybill Conflict Style Inventory

Trainers love Style Matters! Like the widely-used Thomas Kilmann inventory, it is based on the five-style "Mouton Blake Axis". To this it adds unique features:

Cultural adaptability (for high-context or low-context cultures)
"Hot tips" section gives practical "do's" and "don'ts" for each of the five styles - truly new insights for many users.
Recognizes difference between "calm" and "storm" settings
Free web-accessible trainers' guide
Flexible design makes it easy to use the same booklet for quick intro workshops on conflict resolution, or in-depth training
Steep discounts for groups - less than one-third the price of alternatives
