The ability to recognize and appropriately respond to “cultural” differences in conflict style is critically important in effectively managing and resolving conflicts. The practical “four-quadrant intercultural conflict style model” developed by Dr. Mitchell Hammer provides a rich framework for increasing competence in cross-cultural conflict resolution.

Outcomes for this Webinar included:
  • Understanding differences that “make a difference” in conflict resolution through the lens of the  four-quadrant intercultural conflict style model
  • Recognizing differences in conflict styles of various cultural and ethnic communities throughout the world
  • Learning about the Intercultural Conflict Style (ICS) Inventory
