Convido os dois para uma conversa aberta, ouvido o ponto de vista de cada um, analiso cada ponto levantado em ambas as partes onde cada um tem razão ou não e chegamos num denominador comum. O maior objetivo dessa abordagem seria identificar a verdadeira causa raiz do conflito e fazer com que os membros juntos busquem a solução. O papel do mediador é conduzir a conversa para que os dois entendam que a forma que estão se portando não agrega a nenhuma das partes.

One thing I have noticed that helps is to start with individual conversations and understand the issue. The next step is to have the members speak with each other respectfully in a neutral space. Ensure that personal bias, if any, is also addressed respectfully. Often times, personal bias causes workplace conflict. Someone said something and the other person listens to it in a different manner. It is important to impress upon team members that certain boundaries need to be maintained and respected.
