LSI Conflict™

Research and development by Ron Phillips—based on the Life Styles Inventory™ by J. Clayton Lafferty, Ph.D.
Differences of opinion are an inevitable part of organisational relationships, but while constructive differing is productive, out-and-out conflict is not.

Individual thinking and behaviour can help or hinder the way members of your organisation handle conflict situations. Does your team handle conflict constructively? LSI Conflict™ paints a picture of conflict styles and helps build Constructive thinking strategies for effective conflict resolution.

The AMA DISC Survey™ is unique in that it not only measures the strength of each style, but also separates out the productive and counter-productive aspects of each style. This allows for considerably more analysis, particularly in terms of development planning.
What does LSI Conflict do?
LSI Conflict™ is a feedback tool that:
Self-assessment

uses a self-assessment to help participants gain a better understanding of their thinking styles and provides a visual representation of their strongest and weakest styles

Framework

provides a framework through which they can understand different conflict styles and their impact on conflict situations

Action Plan

equips participants with an action plan they can use to specify and commit to behaviour changes to develop more Constructive conflict styles

LSI Conflict™ can also be used in combination with the Life Styles Inventory™ and Group Styles Inventory™ tools as part of an integrated approach to developing individual and group effectiveness.

LSI Conflict™ administration options
LSI Conflict™ is available in paper self-scored format. It gathers feedback using a self-assessment:

The LSI Conflict Inventory is completed by each participant and describes their own perceptions of how they respond to conflict.

The inventory takes 20 to 30 minutes to complete and about 10 minutes to self-score, and the results are plotted on a normed Circumplex to provide participants with immediate feedback.
