I can sit two people down and talk most workplace fights back to calm now. But when it's an old, personal grudge, the kind where they truly can't stand each other, I feel myself get pulled off center. I leave those meetings carrying their anger in my own chest, drained by a fight that was never even mine.
More people experience this than they realize.
You can mediate most conflicts, but the deep personal grudges still pull you off balance.
