How do you handle team member conflicts in a team of highly skilled SME?

Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly. Strong emotions are both cause and result of conflict. It is difficult to talk to both parties when they are upset. Give some time, let them cool off and have everyone tak and listen to each other. Findout what are the cause or needs. Brainstorm solutions. Creat and plan and implent it. Make sure when taking the session no one should interfere.
