Executive Conflict Mediator

Executive Conflict Mediator takes a description of a real workplace dispute — between co-founders, department heads, board members, or senior stakeholders — and produces a structured mediation plan ready to act on. You supply the context: who is involved, what the conflict is about, what each party wants, and any relevant history. The skill applies a senior-level facilitation framework to diagnose the root dynamic, map each party's interests versus positions, and draft the language and sequence you need to move toward resolution.

Example input: 'Our CTO and VP of Product have been in open conflict for six weeks over technical roadmap ownership. The CTO wants to gate all feature specs through engineering. The VP of Product says that removes her mandate. The CEO has asked me to mediate before the next board meeting.' The skill processes that scenario and returns a phased mediation plan with pre-session talking points, a structured agenda, and suggested reframing language for each party.

Sample output excerpt — Mediation Plan: Phase 1 (Pre-session, individual): CTO talking point: 'What does technical accountability look like to you without slowing product velocity?' VP Product talking point: 'Where does engineering input feel most valuable versus most constraining?' Phase 2 (Joint session): Agenda item 1 — Shared definition of 'roadmap ownership.' Agenda item 2 — Decision-rights matrix draft. Phase 3 (Follow-up): Written agreement template with 30-day review trigger.
