Here's how you can mediate conflicts between team members as a Corporate Communications professional.

Team conflict usually arises from 3 sources: 1) team members not having the same information, 2) team members disagreeing on messaging or strategy and 3) team members having personal issues with each other. As a Comms lead, you need to first assess the source of the tension before mediating. Don't assume your team has the same information; they often don't. It's crucial for the team lead to reinforce strategic priorities and codify action items. If they disagree with each other, may be it personal or professional reasons, create a safe space for them to voice their opinions and find the best path forward. If they continue to disagree because no one is willing to take a step back, then focus on common work goals.

Considero que la persona mediadora debe conocer el contexto en el que se presentan ciertas situaciones para evitar juicios previos. Entender qué originó el conflicto, ayuda a buscar una solución adecuada por medio de la negociación con las partes.

As a Corporate Communications professional mediating conflicts, facilitate open dialogue between team members, ensuring everyone’s perspective is heard. Maintain neutrality, identify underlying issues, and guide the discussion toward collaborative solutions. Emphasize common goals, reinforce respectful communication, and document agreements to foster a harmonious and productive team dynamic.

Active listening is the cornerstone of conflict resolution for corporate communicators. By creating a safe space for team members to express concerns without interruption, you foster understanding and identify the root cause of the conflict. This objective listening, free from judgment, lays the groundwork for open dialogue and a path towards resolution.

Ao escutar é importante estar atento para: - escutar o que está sendo dito verbalmente por todas as partes; - escutar o que está sendo dito pelo n?o verbal, captar o sentimento do outro; - escutar os sentimentos gerados em você; - escutar seus pensamentos.

When a conflict arises and you act as a mediator, you should be neutral and not show favoritism to either of the parties. Your role is to listen, understand the problem and facilitate a resolution. You must put aside your own ideas or opinions about the conflict; this is the only way to be fair. Fluent and effective communication will be the main tool for the parties to reach an agreement.

In corporate communication, conflict mediation hinges on neutrality. Avoid favoring any side or letting personal relationships cloud judgment. Your role is to guide a solution, not dictate one. Maintaining impartiality builds trust and ensures the focus stays on the conflict itself, not personal biases. This creates a fair environment where a resolution can be reached through effective communication.

La imparcialidad es fundamental; considero que el contexto siempre ayuda a plantear acciones a futuro, en donde todas las partes estén de acuerdo. Siempre hay que trabajar por el cómo sí, de las cosas para avanzar de la mejor manera.

Clear communication is the mediator's secret weapon in corporate disputes. Restate each team member's concerns to ensure understanding, using neutral and non-confrontational language. Avoid technical jargon that might alienate anyone. By modeling clear communication, you set the tone for a productive discussion and demonstrate how to express concerns constructively, paving the way for a solution.

Exponer con claridad cuál es fin del trabajo en conjunto ayuda a entender que somos parte de un mismo equipo y cuyos resultados serán benéficos para ambas partes. Por ello es importante que cada integrante se sienta parte del equipo, pero tienen claridad, con una buena comunicación, de objetivo común que perseguimos. Un buen resultado se debe a varias personas.

Uma maneira que pode apoiar nesta etapa está em ter curiosidade a respeito do ponto de vista do outro. Se coloque curioso para compreender o ponto de vista do outro. exemplo: "eu nunca tinha pensado dessa maneira, me conta mais sobre a sua vis?o?" E em seguida você solicita para contribuir com a sua vis?o também.
