I have two team members both are good at their work and in very important roles, their work is interdependent on each others work, but they always seems to have problem between them, this is leading to problems in the project, How do i handle this as their manager

 As their manager, it is important to address this issue and find a solution to prevent it from affecting the project. Here are a few steps you can take to handle the situation:

  1. Talk to each team member individually and ask them about the issues they are having with each other. Listen to their perspective and try to understand their concerns.

  2. Once you have a clear understanding of the problem, schedule a meeting with both team members and facilitate a conversation between them. Encourage them to openly communicate and listen to each other's perspectives.

  3. Help them identify the root cause of the conflict and come up with a plan to address it. This could involve setting ground rules for communication, defining clear roles and responsibilities, or finding ways to work more effectively as a team.

  4. As their manager, you should also provide support and resources to help them resolve the conflict and work together more effectively. This could include training, coaching, or other forms of assistance.

  5. Follow up with both team members regularly to check on their progress and make sure that they are addressing the issues and working together more effectively.

Ultimately, the goal is to help both team members overcome their differences and work together effectively to achieve the project's objectives. By addressing the issue early and taking proactive steps to resolve it, you can prevent it from affecting the project and ensure that your team is working at its best.
