When new supervisors struggle to align their leadership approaches

Three of us got promoted to shift supervisors at the same time and we've been trying to coordinate our approaches, but we each have completely different management styles and our teams are starting to play us against each other. We meet every week and say we're 'aligned' but really we're just avoiding the fact that we fundamentally disagree about how to run a shift.
