    Faria uma intervenção perguntando para o grupo: – Qual o acordo que fizemos sobre o direcionamento das perguntas? Quando são direcionadas ao apresentador do problema, podemos deixar claro e dar o espaço para que ele responda? No final traria esse ponto como observação e aprendizado.

    I would intervene by asking the group: What is the agreement we made about the direction of the questions? When they are directed to the presenter of the problem, can we make it clear and give them the space to answer? At the end I would bring this point up as an observation and learning.

    Apparently, it would not benefit for the team and PP if another team member is too eager to answer all questions on behalf of PP.
    As an ALC, I would intervene the group by asking:
    – Hi team, do you remember 2 ground rules that I have mentioned earlier in the beginning, and what are they?
    – How would you want to change the way our team work together to create results for our session both action for PP and learning for whole team?

      – How do we want to handle it?

    I would intervene by “What” “So What” and “Now What”, by asking:
    I’ve observed a team member insists on answering questions that are being directed to the Problem Presenter. Has anyone else observed this?
    What is the impact of this on the team? ( I would let the team think about both positive and negative side.)
    How do we want to handle it? (How may we invite other team members to input on the question to PP?)
    To emphasize the learning for the team, I would ask one more follow up question:
    What is the learning we learned in this case, which we may use in the future of our team communication?

    As coach, I will intervene as following;
    Team, do you observe that the recent question had belong to PP?
    2. What will be the impact if other team member rather than PP insist on answering the question?
    3. What do we decide to do on this situation?
