Litigation is expensive in time, in money and in emotion. During a dispute, the business suffers. Employees become uncomfortable as they are asked to choose up sides. Customers, supplies and lenders become squeamish. Conflict is a lose-lose proposition for everyone. But by choosing to mediate, parties can put a stop to the disruption and expense of litigation. Everyone can get back to being business people. The emotional drain of conflict can come to an end. Bob knows the importance of listening to all views.
