These courses provide critical foundation in understanding, preventing, and resolving conflict,” shared Joshua Gordon, founder of SCI. “The Thomas-Kilmann Instrument (TKI) remains the gold standard in assessing conflict styles. This is an especially important framework when trying to improve critical relationships in sports, such as coaches and athletes, that drive competitive success,” continued Gordon. According to Kilmandiagnostics, the TKI Assessment recently celebrated it’s 40 year anniversary. TKI helps individuals understand their conflict styles across two key dynamics - assertiveness and cooperativeness. These axes serve to sort people into five primary conflict styles; Competing, Collaborating, Compromising, Avoiding, and Accommodating. “Everyone seems to think that athletes will primarily be found in the competing category but the actual results when we assess them is quite surprising,” added Gordon. The e-Learning courses cover topics such as culture, team management, and critical thinking in addition to the core conflict management framework.
