Although not a specific tool, I found using various “crisis management” use cases to include time sensitive, global and stakeholder/consumer impact scenarios was quite introspective for my students.

Dear Rochelle Ubiña

Tools such as surveys and standardized questionnaires are among the most effective research tools for studying leadership styles. Instruments such as the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), which measures transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership styles, are widely validated and frequently used in academic and organizational research. These tools help quantify leadership characteristics, allowing for comparisons across different groups or organizational settings. Additionally, qualitative tools such as interviews and focus groups can offer deeper insights into the contextual and subjective aspects of leadership, capturing nuances that surveys might miss. Combining quantitative and qualitative methods through a mixed-methods approach provides a more holistic understanding of leadership styles.

For conflict management strategies, tools such as the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) are highly effective. The TKI assesses individuals’ tendencies across five conflict resolution styles: competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding, and accommodating. It is especially useful for understanding how leaders or teams manage interpersonal and organizational conflict. Case studies and observational research are also valuable for capturing real-world dynamics and understanding how conflict strategies play out in practice. Using a combination of self-assessment tools, direct observation, and situational analysis ensures a solid understanding of both leadership and conflict management, with results that are both measurable and contextually rich.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your response, I appreciate it much.
