- Johari Window: This model helps individuals increase self-awareness and improve communication by identifying and understanding different aspects of their own personality and behavior.
- The TKI can be used to help individuals understand their natural conflict-handling styles and how to adapt their approach for different situations.
- The IBR approach can be used to facilitate effective conflict resolution by focusing on the underlying interests and needs of all parties involved.
