I have encountered this in a session yesterday and I wonder if any one has some creative ideas.. As an Action Learning Coach how would you handle the following situation:
During the session PP./TM posed a question to the group and the first response was a question back to her. The question to her was partially related to her question and partially a follow up on the questions that PP was answering just before she posed the question to the group.
As an Action Learning Coach how would you handle the following situation:
One team member begins to make fun of one point the group is discussing. Initially, this is creative and brings happiness to the group. Then this joking is repeated sequentially among team members … a competition emerges to come up with the most creative joke. The group looses concentration and focus on the problem they are suppose to be working on …. They are primarily focused on clowning with each other!
What do you do as a coach when a team member asks a question which is obviously in no way related to the problem presented? I.e. the team is working on an organisational culture problem and the next question is “Does anyone in the group have a preference for where we have lunch?”
As an Action Learning Coach how would you handle the following situation:
The problem presented is – I need to upgrade the operating system on my computers
As an Action Learning Coach how would you handle the following situation:
The problem presented is outside the control or influence of the problem presenter and the team. For instance: A consultants presents about an organization he does not consult for – Organization A has a culture of fear.
As an Action Learning Coach how would you handle the following situation:
The team is shifting in their understanding of the true nature of the problem. For instance the original problem is presented as “How should we restructure the organization for efficiency?” and they are shifting to “The communication between team members has eroded to the point that we work against each other instead of helping each other.”
As an Action Learning Coach how would you handle the following situation:
An animal – bird, monkey, or other – enters the room through an open window.
As an Action Learning Coach how would you handle the following situation:
Someone asks a question that changes the depth and understanding of the true nature of the problem.
As an Action Learning Coach how would you handle the following situation:
The end of the session comes and someone has not demonstrated their leadership skill.
As an Action Learning Coach how would you handle the following situation:
One of the participants does something that strongly supports their leadership skill.
As an Action Learning Coach how would you handle the following situation:
You ask the team members how we are doing on a scale of 1 – 10. Most of the members say 7 or 8. One says 2.
As an Action Learning Coach how would you handle the following situation:
The problem presenter decides to test the team by giving mis-information to the team. By the time this becomes apparent, many of the team members are upset to varying degrees.
