I would wait to see if the team identifies it as a powerful question first. If not I would make mention at the next intervention check point of the powerful questions being asked, and what the impact is on the discussion at hand. Ideally if the right question is asked, the team is moving in the right direction without intervention on my part.

Being as a coach, I would ask the team that “how can we as a team can have peeper understanding of the problem nature like this”?

I will ask the team to write Problem Statement again and ask if we have an agreement on the Problems – Yes / No / Close
We have another XX minutes to work on this problem and then I will ask the problem presenter what actions he is going to take as a result of this session.
Now, who has the next question

I will handle it dependent on the situation and learning needs. If I feel the team need to learn more about powerful questioning, I might capture the opportunity and do a pulse-check. I will ask the questions such as “how do you think you did in past XX minutes?” “how was the quality of questions?” and I may ask the team to write problem statement and ask if they have an agreement on problems-yes or not.

I would check to see the impact this had on the team, if any and wait to see if the team recognizes the shift themselves. if this is not addressed by the team, I would enquire whether the questions were being directed to the right persons, ask whether the process was effective / helpful and what they thought about the quality of the questions being posed.

1. I wouldn’t like to interrupt group and stop it from benefiting from this useful question.
2. During the summing up I would talk with the group What did this question do to them?
What was unusual about this question that made such an impression. What would they need to ask this kind of questions.
3. I would do intervention to to make the group realize how effective these kind of questions are.

I would give the group sometime and observe if the problem evolves. I would closely observe the questions asked and take a call if they’re relevant to the problem statement. If the line of questioning is relevant and is contributing to the discussion, I will not intervene. If the line of questioning is not relevant, I will intervene and check with the group if they have consensus on the problem statement.
