DR. KILMANN’S RECOMMENDATIONS
To help you choose which particular courses, assessments, and books will be most relevant to your specialized needs and/or the needs of your clients, Dr. Ralph Kilmann has prepared his recommendations especially to suit your primary or preferred occupational identity—which he summarizes in the following way:
When two or more people are facing especially difficult, emotional, and highly consequential conflicts, a mediator can either be assigned or contracted to help opposing people/parties develop a more satisfactory solution—without having to litigate the outcome or be subject to an external arbitration process or administrative procedure that might not satisfy either party. Naturally, mediators must be highly skilled in handling very distressing conflicts.
