		<description>Thanks Jennifer - I will check out the book.
Norma - I actually find that person easier to deal with because they just don&#039;t belong in your organization and need to be worked out of the organization.  It can be a process but the reality is the position, company is not a good fit for that &quot;soul sucker&quot; person and its in their interest to find a place to work that better matches their values and skills.</description>

		<description>This is interesting because it assumes both are strong contributors. When there are strong contributors, in my experience, it is fairly easy to refocus them on the job they are both doing well, respectively. I can certainly learn to respect the person without being buddies with them. 

I find the difficulty comes when one of the two is NOT a strong contributor but the opposite - as another article said this morning, a &quot;soul sucker.&quot;</description>

		<description>As a Labor &amp; Employment Litigator turned Mediator, I have been called on to mediate workplace issues that involve legal matters many times.  However, I am getting called upon to do &quot;non-legal&quot; mediations between team-members who are having non-legal difficulties working together.  

Being external to the company, I am a fresh set of ears to hear both sides and help them forge a new &quot;business plan.&quot;   Some companies have internal procedures for such conflict resolution, but others call as a last ditch effort.  With the number of reorganizations that have occurred, these mediations have been very helpful to getting the management of change behind the company.  

&quot;The Power of a Positive No&quot; is a short book by William Ury from which I pull many of my negotiation techniques in these kinds of scenarios.  Every HR professional should have it on their shelf (after they&#039;ve read it, of course).</description>
