Description
In this opening video of our TKI Anniversary series, Dr. Ralph Kilmann—co-author of the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI)—reflects on the personal and academic roots of his lifelong interest in conflict.
He shares the powerful story of his parents’ escape from Nazi Germany in 1936 and how their experience shaped his early understanding of conflict. This personal history later connected with his academic journey at Carnegie Mellon University, where influential mentors like Lou Pondy and Nobel Laureate Herb Simon helped steer him toward the development of one of the world’s most widely used conflict resolution tools.
