Intro to Conflict Styles - Key Principles

Style Matters

Your conflict style reflects what you focus on.   Do you give priority to your goals (the issues or tasks important to you) or to the relationship?  There's no "correct" focus  that is always right.  We have to choose based on the situation.

Most people aren't even aware they are making a choice about this.   But other people are.  Our words, actions, and tone of voice often reveal more than we realize. Style Matters helps you see yourself as others experience you and make a choice right for the moment.
