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

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".

The report in your email or onscreen just after taking the assessment displays in low quality format.  Transform it in a few seconds to a high quality view.  If you have lots of online experience you probably won't need this video. 

Conflict is challenging and often painful, but it can also make valuable contributions to individuals, teams, and organizations.  Ron Kraybill reviews how to use your Style Matters report so you experience more benefits and less pain from conflict.

Your conflict style reflects what you focus on.   Do you give priority to goals (the issues or tasks important to you), relationships, both, or neither? If you're like most people, you aren't even aware you are making a choice about focus.  But others are - your words and actions probably reveal more than you know. Style Matters will help you see yourself as others experience you.  This video presents a core framework essential for understanding your report.
