Conflict Dynamics Profile®

Are your responses to conflict hindering your relationships? Your work environment? Hampering your career? In conjunction with individual coaching, Ruth is certified to administer a powerful assessment tool, the Conflict Dynamics Profile (CDP). The CDP provides a powerful way to improve self-awareness of an individual's responses to conflict. The assessment can point the way to reducing destructive responses to conflict, and improve and increase constructive responses to conflict, by assessing one's responses to conflict in the following categories:

Conflict Response Categories

	Constructive	Destructive
A C T I V E	Perspective Taking Creating Solutions Expressing Emotions Reaching Out	Winning at All Costs Displaying Anger Demeaning Others Retaliating
P A S S I V E	Reflective Thinking Delay Responding Adapting	Avoiding Yielding Hiding Emotions Self-Criticizing

Since conflict is inevitable, a natural part of life, one's ability to navigate conflict skillfully increases life enjoyment, improves relationships, and further's one's career plans.

Organizational Applications

Since the cost of destructive conflict to organizations is so high, a leadership development and team-building approach that includes training in conflict competency makes good bottom-line sense. An effective approach includes initial training in the core concepts, after which the Conflict Dynamics Profile instrument can be used to assess the team's baseline competency in constructive conflict resolution. When the whole team is on the same page, using the same vocabulary and undergoing the same assessmenrts, the destructive responses to conflict become more visible and the organization as a whole can "witness" to their ineffectiveness. Watch as the old, destructive behaviors begin dissolving under the light of your educated workforce. Watch as new, constructive behaviors are practiced and exercised as your colleagues are empowered to greater leadership competencies.
