Scenario: Deep Learning(2024)

As an action learning coach, how would you handle the following situation: When checking in with the team they have a particularly deep learning around something they identified. You still have one more thing on your list of potential learnings.

    Begin by acknowledging the depth and significance of the learning the team has identified. Validating their insights fosters an environment of trust and affirmation. This can be done be stating, I observe that……..
    As a follow up you could ask open-ended questions to help the team delve deeper into their learning. Encourage them to discuss the implications, potential applications, and how it might affect their approach moving forward. Also ask the implications to the team when not all potential learnings are applied.

    Firstly, I would like to take the ideas flow, conversation process and awareness & insights of the team as the main focus. Since there is plenty of momentum, and somehow the deep learning is emerging, what I should do is to wait for the conversation in the team happening continuously and naturally. So, if possible, I would not take any intervention.
    Secondly, If I think the potential learning is crucial for the problem solving, team learning and individual development, I would say, “I have some concerns now because we might miss an important learning. But this is my judgement, it might not be the truth. So it is up to you to decide whether to stop the discussion and look at the possible learning opportunity now.”

    I will trust the team and trust the process. However, if the deep leaning is way too deep and it does not create a new learning; I will ask the team if they would like to learn the potential new thing or still continue their deep learning. Lastly, I respect the team’s decision.
