As an entrepreneur, I’ve learned that when conflicts start to impact my business’s daily operations or the bottom line, it’s time to consider outside mediation. If I notice a persistent issue that’s causing missed deadlines, a drop in productivity, or a toxic work environment, I know it’s time to seek help from a professional mediator.

First, determine the severity of the conflict by evaluating its complexity, the emotions involved, and its potential consequences for the individuals and the organization. Next, assess the effectiveness of any internal efforts to resolve the conflict, acknowledging when these attempts have been unsuccessful or may have exacerbated the situation. Finally, consider the potential impact on business operations, such as reduced productivity, damaged relationships, or loss of valuable employees, and weigh the benefits of external mediation in addressing these concerns.

Es importante evaluar el impacto de sumar un profesional para solucionar y ayudar a mediar como también para construir. En el caso de los directorios numerosos es importante contar con asesores que ayuden a trabajar comunicaciones antes de que esto genere impactos en la gestión de la empresa.

Es importante normalizar la presencia de un mediador profesional, es un recurso mas que las empresas tienen disponibles. Este aspecto es importante para no personalizar los problemas sino hablar en términos de las necesidades de entendimiento y resolución de la empresa. Normalizar es un aspecto que siempre suma a generar emociones adecuadas y hace que nadie se sienta subestimado o que se genere un efecto pigmalion por la dificultad para generar acuerdos.

En otras oportunidades lo que también puede ayudar es contratar un coaching empresarial o de alta performance que ayude a generar nuevos espacios y nuevas formas de coordinar acciones. Generar espacios y reservar presupuestos para capacitaciones sobre comunicación efectiva y resolución de conflictos también es una buena opción.

Early resolution is paramount and if that safeguards relationships so much the better. Outcomes of a win/win and opportunities to explore and advance, that is the best outcome for all. Good mediation will achieve this.

In conflict management, the grudge battles can be expensive. Following is what worked for me: Impose a Time Limit: If the conflict continued beyond a couple of weeks without movement, I started considering outside mediation. Gauge the Impact: I looked for signs of stress on relationships and productivity within the team. Introduce a Mediator: Oftentimes, bringing in a neutral third party broke the logjam quickly and fairly, saving time and resources. Emphasis on Quick Resolution: We bring in help early and move on, with minimal disruption back to business. This approach did not allow conflict to drain any of the energy from the team.
