INKOVEMA Podcast „Well through time“
#72 – Errors in mediations
What mediators (can and must) learn from mistakes, carelessness and failed mediations
In conversation with Dr Stefanie Buchmann, Dr Ute Enderlein and Tilman Metzger
Well through time. The podcast about mediation, conflict coaching and organisational consulting.
Today's podcast guests:
- Tilman Metzger, mediator from the very beginning, co-founder of the Federal Association and trainer of the Federal Association of Mediation, Hamburg – recalls a workplace mediation in which, with the best of intentions, the constructive will of the parties was not taken seriously and the corresponding reactions were interpreted as resistance to the mediation itself.
- Dr Stefanie Buchmann, doctor of law and head of the legal department of the FSU Jena and mediator, Jena – reports on one of her mediations and how mistakes can sometimes have helpful effects.
- Dr Ute Enderlein, PhD in cultural studies and lecturer at the University of Saxon Administration in Meissen, experienced change manager, mediator, Dresden – describes an unspeakable and ever-increasing situation of being overwhelmed by the need to somehow deal with conflicts in a major project in just a few hours „ and that online, and without a picture. New training courses in mediation and coaching from March and October 2022.

Today we are talking about mistakes, inadequacies, mishaps and sometimes downright failures in mediation – and not by the conflict parties, who are working on and sometimes failing to find a solution to their conflict; but about the failure or mistakes of mediators.
Sometimes we throw the sticks at ourselves that we find on the wrong track we are on. And yet we struggle to do what Nelson Mandela once said about himself.
„I never lose. Either I win or I learn “
