1. Senior Staff. 45 yr old. 16 year experiences in the company. Mrs. Know-it-all. Street-smart. However, her knowledge to updated software/system is limited. She is well respect by most co-workers. She DOES NOT like the CFO at all. In the organization, she's your subordinate.
2. COO. 43 yr old. 2 year in this company. Book-smart. Know the software/system and politics but not so much of most clerical work. Rely on Senior staff on solving many problems. He is both you and Senior staff's boss. He has the title and power. However, he knows he CAN NOT let go of this senior staff.

She doesn't like "COO", not "CFO". Sorry for the typo.

good. i'm glad i can see the entire question for creating an answer.
sounds as if both need to get up to speed on the skills they lack. that should be the primary issue.
personal greivances, and their underlying causes are of a nature that should be handled by someone in a position which supercedes either of theirs, or by a competent HR person, even an outside consultant if necessary.
one effect method i have found to apply in ANY circumstance when two people are at odds is for both to write a carefully thought out letter, one to the other, of the differences that each sees that makes them incompatible. that letter should avoid harshness but be frank enough to explain what the real isues are, then they can work to resolve them.

I wouldn't! You're a middle manager and you're trying to solve the problems of two of your most senior staff members?
If you were the Chairman or CEO, I would say lock them in the room with a truckoad of cream pies, but it is not your place. STAY OUT OF THIS ONE - KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN!

They should get to gether nd make out and get over it. It is just a job and it really depends on who really needs a job or not. they need to grow up and come to terms that they only have to put up with eachother at work and then it's over.
