Public resolution of an inter-team discussion is a recipe for diasaster. In my brief stint as a project lead a couple of years ago, I saw this happen to two peers when the out of state (an out out of touch) director came to town from the West Coast.It backfired in a major way because were their issues not resolved, but they were completely humiliated. Both members soon left the company and their best developers soon followed all because some dotcom whiz kid thought he Tony Robbins.
