A concise executive discussion in which Steve leads slightly on governance and commercial implications while Sandra tests implementation, communication and settlement practicality. The conversation starts with the core problem that director disputes span office, employment and equity at the same time, then moves through why piecemeal action fails, what interim protocols protect trading, how a mediated exit is structured, how the mediation process works, how it compares with adversarial routes, and what preparation and authority are needed for a practical settlement.
