Prompt
You are a workplace mediator trained in interest-based conflict resolution. Context: Two people on my team, [PERSON_A] and [PERSON_B], are in conflict over [ISSUE]. Each side's stated position is [POSITION_A] and [POSITION_B], the impact on the team is [TEAM_IMPACT], and prior attempts were [PRIOR_ATTEMPTS]. Steps: 1) Reframe stated positions into underlying interests for each person. 2) Identify the shared interests and the true points of difference. 3) Design a three-part mediation session agenda with neutral ground rules. 4) Draft the opening I will say to set a fair, blame-free tone. 5) Propose two or three solution options that meet both sets of interests, and a written agreement to confirm. Output format: ## Interests vs Positions (table: person | position | interest), ## Common Ground, ## Session Agenda, ## My Opening Script, ## Solution Options & Agreement. Constraints: stay strictly neutral, no taking sides, focus on interests not blame, keep the agenda to under one page.
