Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When tensions rise and people clash
Don't rush to judgment way too fast
Ask yourself what tool to choose
Mediation or investigation news
If they can talk and find their way
Mediation saves the day
But when there's harm or broken trust
Investigation is a must

[Chorus]
M-I-T-D-A-G, conflict tools for you and me
Mediate when they can share
Investigate when trust's not there
Train your managers to coach
Diagnose with careful approach
ADR and grievance ways
Guide us through our troubled days

[Verse 2]
Managers need the skills to see
When conflict's brewing naturally
Coach them how to ask and listen
Help their people find what's missing
Not every fight needs HR's hand
Sometimes a manager can make a stand
With active listening and open space
They help their teams find common grace

[Chorus]
M-I-T-D-A-G, conflict tools for you and me
Mediate when they can share
Investigate when trust's not there
Train your managers to coach
Diagnose with careful approach
ADR and grievance ways
Guide us through our troubled days

[Bridge]
When teams are stuck and can't move on
Diagnose what's going wrong
Is it roles or communication
Power struggles, expectation
Ombudsman stands neutral ground
Safe reporting can be found
Confidential, independent voice
Gives employees another choice

[Verse 3]
ADR means options wide
Arbitration, panels tried
Design systems fair and clear
Before the conflicts interfere
Union shops need grievance steps
Non-union needs those safety nets
Procedures documented well
So everyone knows where to tell

[Chorus]
M-I-T-D-A-G, conflict tools for you and me
Mediate when they can share
Investigate when trust's not there
Train your managers to coach
Diagnose with careful approach
ADR and grievance ways
Guide us through our troubled days

[Outro]
Resolution's not just one size
Use the tool that's right and wise
Build the systems, train the minds
Peace at work is what we'll find
