Conflict Style
Inventory
Dr. Marshall Sashkin
This instrument
assesses individual
approaches to
conflict and shows how to
make conflict a constructive,
rather than destructive, force
in your workplace. This revised and improved edition
includes new scales that measure a teams approach to
conflict as well as each individuals approach.
The instrument consists of 10 vignettes that describe
realistic workplace conflicts. For each vignette, partici-
pants are presented with five possible responses to the
conflict, and are instructed to indicate which ones most
closely describe how they would actually deal with the
situation. The results give respondents an accurate
assessment and understanding of their own natural
approaches to dealing with conflict and provide a
starting point for developing the skills necessary to
begin managing conflict constructively.
The Trainers Guide provides explanations of each
vignette and discussion of typical responses to each. It
also includes workshop designs, a lecturette, overhead
transparency masters, norms, and references. Managing
Conflict Constructively is a helpful participant handout
that provides background information on conflict
management.

The Psychological
Type Indicator (PTI)
Personality
The Psychological Type Indicator (PTI) is a carefully crafted personality
measure that is designed to give individuals guidance about their
psychological type using the scales first presented by Carl Jung. The focus
of the PTI is on providing individuals themselves, their managers and those
who train them, with an understanding of personality and its effect on
performance both inside and beyond the workplace.
Description
The PTI was developed by The Test Agency and first published in 1997.
The initial design was based on an understanding of Jungian typology and
a range of type indicators.
The unique design of the PTI scoring system provides the key to seeing person-
ality type in the context of how personality can be influenced by environment.
Conditions that fall outside our natural preference boundaries will be less
preferred and, consequently, are more likely to be avoided. For example, an
individual with a naturally strong preference for introversion
may find that he or she can cope with one-
to-one interpersonal contact, but expresses
anxiety about group social settings. This is
clearly highlighted by how the PTI displays
and an individuals results.
Features
Powerful, innovative scoring system
that highlights the range within which
individuals are likely to be comfortable
adopting different behavioral styles to
cope with changes in their environment
and the different life pressures they
might face from time-to-time.
Simple to use integrated Answer Sheet
and Scoring Key with built-in Profile Chart.
Presentation
The PTI is packaged as a Self-Scoring
Question and Answer Booklet, with an
Integrated Profile Chart. The PTI booklet
includes basic information on Jungian
typology that an individual can compare
to his or her results.

GivingandReceiving
Performance Feedback
Peter R. Garber
You have a bad attitude about your
job. You need to change your priori-
ties. You dont understand how we
do things around here.
When negative feedback damages an
employees self-image, ego and motivation, the employee
often gets madand blames the messenger. It doesnt
take long for managers to learn not to be the bearers of
bad tidings if they can possibly avoid it.
This book explores the limitations of traditional evaluation
systems and introduces positive, alternative approaches
including a new concept, Self-Directed Feedback.
Now you can offer employees all the performance infor-
mation they need to grow personally and professionally.
Using forms, questionnaires, case studies, and action
plans, the author presents step-by-step guidelines to make
feedback about the negative side of performance easier to
giveand easier to swallow.

Influencing
Style Clock
Stewart Mitchell,
Mariana Brkich,
& Jon Warner
When it comes to influencing others, first impressions
are important. Your managers, supervisors and other key
employees may have only one chance to leave a positive
mark in the negotiation, consultative, counseling, sales
or customer service process.
You can use the Influencing Style Clock to help your
employees identify and improve the ways they influence
others at work. Designed to be completed both by the
individual and others with whom that person interacts,
it is a powerful tool for training, teambuilding, career
counseling, personal development and sales training.
The instrument identifies four influencing styles:
The Visioner The Orchestrator
The Regulator The Harmonizer
Participants will learn to recognize the four influencing
types, identify their greatest style preference and
develop practical strategies for influencing others in work
and non-work situations. Theyll also create a personal
action plan for improving their influencing skills.
Workshop facilitators and trainers can draw upon
the Influencing Style Clock Facilitators Guide and
Interpretative Notes to run a workshop on influencing
others and even design their own overheads, flip-charts
and handouts based on the material.

The Creative Profile
How to Assess
the Creative
Potential/Capacity
of Your Organization
Patrick Sanaghan, Ed.D.
Every organization is full of
creative, talented people.
And you dont have to be
a DaVinci to unleash their
creative spirit and add value to
your bottom line. With The Creative Profile, you have
a proven tool that will make it easy.
This 36-statement profile acts like an X-ray to provide
an in-depth snapshot of the creative capacity of your
organization. Administer it to your employees and it will
produce data that will reveal your creative strengths
and weaknesses and pinpoint where to focus your
attention and resources. There is no better way to add
discipline to your efforts so you know what to do, how to
do it and most importantly why.
The statements relate to the core elements that enable
an organization to tap and utilize the creative talent of its
people:
Constructive leadership
Positive culture
Effective protocols and processes
The profile package includes instructions on how to
administer the survey, what to do with survey data, how
to create and facilitate a meeting where participants
think together about organizational issues and lessons
learned about organizational creativity.
Imagine an organization where different departments
meet with each other to share ideas and give feedback
normally quiet employees speak up in meetings and
participate there is less sarcasm, fewer put-downs and
more constructive criticism individuals dont take
credit for good ideas senior leaders are more
accessible and employees want to interact with them
and good ideas are not just captured, but implemented.
This will be your organization when you administer this
valuable and strategic tool.

From the Defining and Delivering Successful Professional
Practice HPT in Action series
Implementation
andManagement
of Performance
Improvement Plans
Emphasizing Group
and Organizational
Interventions
Robert Carleton
Here is an effective, step-by-
step plan for improving
performance on a large-scale and getting the results and
payoffs you desire. If you have a group, a group of groups
or an entire organization that needs an intervention,
youll find this book invaluable.
Implementation and Management of Performance
Improvement Plans begins in the middle in the
implementation phase of performance improvement
plans rather than the design or planning phases. This is
because, according to the author, implementation is
where something useful happens or doesnt.
Performance improvement aimed at individuals and
groups is different. Here youll learn about common
basic misconceptions and errors other leaders make
when shifting focus from individual to group and how
not to go down the same road.

Ethics is not about foregoing profits, but about ensuring
long-term viability
Ethics by Design
Strategic Thinking and
Planning for Exemplary
Performance, Responsible
Results, and Societal
Accountability
Stephanie L. Moore, Ph.D.
Is your organization harvesting
the positive results of thinking
and acting ethically? Ethics by
Design delivers essential
guidance for those who would
follow Peter Druckers sage advice: It is more important
to do what is right than it is to do things right.
The focus of this book is not on internal processes or
individual performance, but rather on system ethics.
Youll learn how to begin at the top level and, with
stakeholders, design ethics into everything you do
starting with what you deliver to society and linking that
on down into your organization and the individuals
within your organization.
Through four succinct chapters, the author details both a
model for planning desirable social results as well as a
new definition of accountability one that focuses on
societal impact:
The social contract: Your organization has a contract with
society. Learn how to honor it by adding value to society.
Socially desirable ends: Explore how to deliver products,
outputs and services consumers want while impacting
the shape of society and the future.
Socially responsible strategic planning: Discover how to
plan for desired results by setting objectives that target
the societal level.
Defining excellence ethics in performance standards:
Define your desired performance of employees by clearly
stating your expectations and performance standards.
This book holds the key to long-term viability. Youll learn
what not to do from the many examples of organizations
that only provided lip service to ethics and the
consequences of doing so. With the valuable concepts
and tools youll gain, you will be able to avoid excuses,
failure and liability, be successful now and continue to be
successful in the future.

HRSkills Series
Peter R. Garber
ConductingWorkplace Investigations
A situation that requires an internal investigation can range from something
that can be handled internally, before it has a chance to escalate, to something
serious enough to warrant involvement of a governmental or regulatory
agency such as the Equal Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor,
or OSHA. In some cases criminal activity could be involved, which would
require law enforcement involvement.
Since there are likely to be consequences from an internal investigation, your
ability to properly lead and/or conduct an investigation into the matter can be
the difference between discovering what really happened, or not.
The six chapters in this title cover:
Workplace Investigations
Investigative Interviews
Interviewing the Complainant
Interviewing the Accused

Terminations
Of all the difficult tasks a supervisor might have to perform, terminating the
employment of an individual might be the toughest emotionally. In addition,
the ramifications of conducting a termination can be traumatic; there is
always the threat of the unknown such as a lawsuit or even, potentially, an
act of violence. Not handling a termination in the proper manner can also
cause a loss of morale in the remaining employees.
In four chapters, author Peter Garber covers such ground as:
Is the termination for cause or performance?
Making a plan for the termination meeting
The five-stage response model: How to deal with the stages of shock,
anger, rejection, acceptance, and help
How to properly conduct the termination meeting
Coverage of other termination considerations such documentation, employee
assistance, and security considerations
