When co-directors clash on creative vision during production

My co-director and I have completely different approaches to working with actors and we thought our contrasting styles would create richer work but now we're contradicting each other in rehearsals and the cast doesn't know who to listen to. We're three weeks into production and every creative choice feels like we're undermining each other instead of building something together.
