Conflict Dynamics Profile

The Conflict Dynamics Profile (CDP) was developed to prevent harmful conflict in the workplace. It provides managers and employees with a greater awareness of how they respond when faced with conflict so that they can improve on those behaviors causing the most problems. The CDP's focus on conflict behaviors, rather than styles, emphasizes an actio... n-oriented approach which lessens the problems associated with harmful or unproductive forms of conflict and results in more effective conflict management skills. There are two versions of the CDP: the CDP-360 and the CDP-Individual (CDP-I). The CDP-I is a "self report" (it only looks at how you view yourself), whereas the CDP-360 is a full spectrum tool which gives not only your self view but also delineates the feedback from bosses, peers, and direct reports. As a psychometrically sound instrument, the CDP shows solid evidence of reliability and validity and has been normed against a variety of organizations. Easily completed in 20-25 minutes, the CDP comes with a thorough Development Guide offering practical tips and strategies for strengthening conflict management skills. Applicable for all types of organizations, the instrument can be used within the context of an existing training program, as a stand-alone assessment for an individual or group of employees, or as part of a coaching intervention.
