Scenario: New information(2024)

As an action learning coach, how would you handle the following situation: The team decides to capture some of the information they are discussing on a white board. The person that moves to the white board flips the leadership skills out of view.

    I would consider two approaches.

    If the team discussion is too intense to interrupt, I would remind them after their current discussion concludes. For instance: “Do you all still recall your leadership skills?” Then, I would remind them to flip the whiteboard back to display the leadership skills.

    If this is merely a personal desire to use the whiteboard, I would directly intervene to remind the team. For example: “Would you be able to remember your leadership skills while they are out of view?” and suggest the person to jot down the information on an A4 paper or another board.

    I would intervene with a observation question: “ I notice that person X moved the leadership skills out of view, did anyone else notice that?”, “What could be the effect of this?” “How do we want to deal with this going forward?”.
