Mr. ABC, thank you for your inputs.
Team, what are other aspects of the problem that you think need to be explored apart from what has been asked by Mr ABC?

As a coach, i will intervene by asking: – “Team, how are we doing as a group so far on a scale from 1 to 10 (1: – poor, 10: – excellent)?”
After answers are heard, I will follow-on by asking: – “Do we have agreement to the problem?”
After answers are heard, I will invite the group to write what they understood the problem to be and ask each participant to share what was written.
When everyone is heard, I will ask: – “Is there an agreement on the problem?”
After answers are heard, I will ask: – “What would help us get to consensus?” (if required.)

I would ask the team “team what is the nature of the questions being asked and how is it affecting our work?” This will allow for the team members to respectfully air their views regarding the participant’s questions. A possible follow up intervention on my part would be to ask” how do you wish to proceed now?” to allow the team to move forward in asking deeper questions.

As an action learning coach I will ask the team to look at the problem from different angles. That is the way to peel off all the layers of the problem. I will also ask the team how we react if we hear the same questions over en over again. Then I ask the participant if he or she can accept this proposal and I will also ask this person if we continue the session.

I would pick one of two interventions:
1. Option 1: First intervention from the scrip – how we are working as a group/what are we doing well?/what can we do better?/…
2. Option 2: I would stop the group after this participant ask this persuading question again and ask the group “Team, let me stop you for a minute. I heard that person X keep asking this question. What’s really happening here?” – and after team reflection “How do you want to handle it in the future?”

I would ask the individual in question, then the team: what do you think the team should do when one team member believes he has identified the problem and the others are not convinced? How can we deal constructively with that situation? Which leadership competencies can we use for that?

My intervention would be as below:
Team, I’d like to make an intervention now. How are we doing so far? What are we doing well? Wha can we do better? How do you assess from 1 to 10 cooperation in the team? What do you think of questions you’ve already asked? How good are we in asking fresh questions that bring new plots in the discussion? How well are already asked questions bringing us to the nature of the problem? Do we have a consensus over the problem? Please, write down your understanding of the problem and read it loud when everyone’s ready. Next, every participant reads its’ understanding. If it is different: What can we take out of this? What can help us to get closer to the consensus? What actions will we take? If it is the same: What can we do to strengthen cooperation and team learning? Team lists ones. Which do you want to implement now? Do all agree?
