Understand the underlying issues causing the discord. Is it communication breakdown, differing goals, or personal conflicts? Encourage an environment where team members can express their concerns without fear of repercussions. Remind everyone of the shared vision and goals. Emphasize how collaboration is essential to achieving these objectives. Encourage team members to listen actively to each other, fostering empathy and understanding. Collaborate with all parties to generate possible solutions. This promotes ownership and commitment to the outcome. Clarify each person’s role in the resolution process and beyond, reducing ambiguity. Engage in team-building activities that promote trust and collaboration among team members.

Simple. I would bring them into my office and explain to them clearly that part of their senior role is to lead by example. I would tell them "They are not." I would explain to them that my company employs only people that can work on a team and resolve conflict. I would then leave them in my office to work it out. My final reply would be to inform them that if they ever get to a point in which I have to intervene in one of their conflicts or if a conflict hurts the company, I will fire both of them.
