Jodie feels that Peter puts too much pressure on both of them, and sets unrealistic deadlines. As the conflict increases, the productivity and efficiency decreases.
Both employees feel bad about this, but are lost as to how to overcome the problem.

3. How would you guide and support both colleagues?
