I'm leading a team where two senior devs can't agree on how we should structure our system, and their arguments are making the rest of the team feel uncomfortable. How can I best rein in their disagreements without killing team morale?

Meet with them privately in a 2 on 1. I think they should be able to hash it out maturely, but give them a timeline for when they must come to some kind of compromise. I think it's healthy to hash out disagreement in the workplace, but you obviously dont' want it to derail every meeting. So give them a deadline, and ask them to keep it civil and out of sight

Thanks for sharing

Try to be a neutral mediator. Remind everyone we have a common goal here. Chances are, they agree on at least one small thing. They are just too close to it to see that.

Thanks for sharing

I’ve been working for a company for 25yrs, looking for advancement. I’m considered an SME, managing people, Vendors and working on large system conversions. Have provided long term goals. When requesting feedback I’m told I’m on the right path, no suggestions on what to improve. I asked about timelines for advancement and not being given anything concrete. Recently interviewed with another company as a Vendor Mgmt partner. Individual contributor, high visible position with potential. Thoughts?
