How can I effectively handle conflicts in my research team?

Handling conflicts in research teams requires open communication, active listening, and a focus on common goals. Can you share more about the specific conflict?

Yes, two team members disagree on the direction of our project.

It's important to facilitate a discussion between them. Encourage each member to express their viewpoints and concerns. Have you tried a mediation session?

Not yet, but I think that could help. What should I do during the session?

During the session, set ground rules for respectful communication, allow each person to speak without interruption, and guide them towards finding common ground. Would you like tips on how to structure the session?

Yes, that would be great!
