No single size fits all – a mediator should make use of both facilitative and directive tools, and design and implement an effective process for information sharing, trust building and generation of options. A mediator who listens to, learns from, questions and nudges parties and counsel will be successful in letting the latter make informed and wise decisions about their settlement possibilities.
