Building team work in the boardroom

Two senior individuals working in a demanding and stressful environment, intensely disliked each other and seemed to have little in common.  One had tried to bring a discrimination claim against the other and also the employer; and this whole process, which was lengthy and difficult, made them even more intolerant and spiteful to each other.

A new Director arrived and saw that each had strengths and weaknesses.  Accordingly a CEDR conflict coach was engaged to work with the individuals to help them to understand that they could make a better contribution to the business together, rather than fighting each other.  Coaching helped the individuals each to confront each other constructively; to speak to each other after a long period without acknowledgment; and engaged them in a framework, which they could both buy into.
