Scenario: Learning Organization

Written by DrBea on . Posted in WIAL Talk

As an action learning coach, how would you handle the following situation: You’ve been working with several teams in the same organization for months. As you are walking to one of your sessions you hear an employee say – Hey we could really use a pizza man for this discussion.

    I will start the session as normal by saying hello to everyone and expressing my pleasure to join the team in this session, introducing participants, process of action learning, 2 ground rules, Leadership skill selection.
    Then I will tell the team that I have observed that not everyone really need the support from an action learning coach to support team in this session . I have a question for the team: how do you want me to work with team in this discussion?
    I will continue the session once I have the consensus of the team that they need an action learning coach for the discussion.
    If somebody says that they don’t really need an action learning coach for the discussion, I would ask him about the reasons why I doesn’t think an action learning coach can help, and what I should change to help the team better in this session.

    I would tell the employee they need to bring the suggestion to the group so they can decide whether they need a Pizza Man. If they agree, I would find someone from a different department or outside the company because a Pizza Man should have little to no knowledge of the problem.
