As an Action Learning Coach, seeing one of the participants does something that strongly support their leadership skill is an ideal scenario. I will make sure to note every detail down for me to share during the Reflections on Learning. After this, I will find a perfect time to remind everyone of the remaining time and that I will later be asking each of them to share how they have been practicing their leadership skills.

If a team member is doing something really well, I would likely take that moment in my position as the coach to facilitate learning at the team level- I would ask, “Team, did anyone else notice what person X is doing with their leadership skill?,” and then ask, “What is the impact on the team when person X practiced this skill?”

As Mikal mentioned, I would not wait till the end to highlight that, because it could trigger other team members to focus on their own chosen leadership competency, and that would help the group work better and the individuals to develop more during the session.

I would take note of the instance as part of the group learning process at the end of the session. I may ask if anyone noticed such instance as well and how they felt about it; if there was an effect on them or the team. Depending on the team’s dynamics, I may not highlight it straight away during the middle of the session or right after the demonstration of the leadership skill as it may distract others from their own exploration of leadership skill application.

I would use my opportunity as an Action learning coach to do an intervention to point out the instructive situation to the participants. I would ask if the participants can take away what the question asked does to their learning opportunity to develop on their quality in leadership.

It’s an excellent situation when a coach realizes that leadership skills that the team members selected for the improvement were not chosen just for the purpose of the session objectives but due to a pure need of improvement. As a coach I take notes of such examples and during the summary of the session when the individual achievements are discussed I would highlight such examples, congratulate the person who was working on them and motivate others to continue their efforts.

I would share my observation with the team when I give feedback to the participant. And then ask for other members’ feedback regarding the participant’s behavior. At last, I would ask what is the team learning from this event.

As a coach, i would intervene because that is a learning opportunity, by asking the team if anyone else has seen what the person just did and then check on the persons skills impact to the team. Later on conclusions i would commend the person for exercising the skill during the action learning session.
