The TKI interpretive materials say that each mode has its place, but I still want to know: Whats the best approach for managing conflict?
The best approach for managing conflict is a combination of these four lessons: (1) Know that you have five conflict-handling modes available to you at all times; (2) develop the ability to assess the key attributes of a situation (level of stress, complexity of issue, importance of issue, availability of time to address conflict, level of trust between both persons, quality of listening and communication skills, support from cultural norms and the reward system, and importance of the relationship to both people); (3) use the mode that best fits the situation; and (4) switch to a different mode as the attributes of the situation change. If you have additional questions, see: Using the TKI, Using the MBTI & TKI, and Contact Us.
