Thomas-Kilmann Model Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

Overview

This presentation template visually explains the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI), a framework that maps five distinct approaches to conflict based on assertiveness and cooperativeness. It is a fully editable presentation template compatible with PowerPoint and Google Slides. The design offers a clear, quadrant based visual that helps audiences understand competing, collaborating, avoiding, accommodating, and compromising behaviors. Each style is illustrated with color coding, descriptive text, and character visuals to simplify complex interpersonal dynamics. The template is structured to support training activities, leadership programs, and conflict resolution discussions. This resource is particularly helpful for instructors, HR teams, coaches, and consultants who need to communicate behavioral tendencies within conflict situations. The visual layout also makes it suitable for workshops, psychology courses, and corporate development sessions.

What’s Inside the Template

The template includes a structured quadrant diagram that maps the five conflict styles across two axes: assertiveness and cooperativeness. The top right highlights collaborating, the top left focuses on competing, the bottom left explains avoiding, and the bottom right presents accommodating. A circular element at the center illustrates compromising as a balanced midpoint.
Each conflict style includes a focus statement and a behavioral description, along with illustrated figures that make the content more engaging. The template is offered in both light and dark background versions to support different teaching and presentation environments.
