Your Triggers and Response to Conflict: Conflict Dynamics Profile

• Tuesday, November 1 from 1:30-3:00 p.m.
• Note: This workshop is identical to the one offered earlier in October. It is being offered again due to high interest.

The Conflict Dynamics Profile (CDP), an assessment instrument measuring conflict behaviors, is an excellent resource to increase self-awareness and improve conflict management skills. The CDP is unlike any other assessment tool in that it focuses specifically on conflict behaviors, rather than styles. It helps individuals and teams understand how they respond to conflict, what triggers can escalate conflict, and how to manage conflict more effectively. This online assessment emphasizes an action-oriented approach which leads to real improvement. It provides a simple way of helping you understand more about how you respond to conflict both behaviorally and emotionally. The Center for Leadership covers the expense of this assessment for all colleagues. Facilitated by Anke Arnaud, Visiting Professor of Business at Sewanee.
