1. Who are you having the coaching conversation with?
Every team member must feel included in offering their opinions and thoughts, and
everyone must be present at every meeting for this team to operate at its peak efficiency. This
may necessitate arranging team sessions to accommodate everyone. Kyo, I am concerned that
you have found it challenging to attend team meetings for some justifiable cause, making you
feel like you are no longer a part of the team. What remedies can you provide to optimize this
Kyo: Due to the scheduling of meetings, which I am unable to attend since I have to drop
my child off at school each morning, which conflicts with the timing of the group meeting, I
never once have felt like a member of this team. I am in no position to offer you any remedies
on this one as long as we have members of the team like Mike who think that meetings can
I know how stressful it may be to perform in an atmosphere where you feel that your
opinions on some crucial choices are not valued or that you have been excluded from the
team because of your domestic duties. Everyone has obligations to fulfil, but that does not
exclude coordination and reaching an understanding. We should constantly look for ways to
contribute to the team by having our opinions heard since we are a team. I am aware that
meetings are not arranged in a way that includes you. However, whilst carrying out a task, I
am confident the other teammates would pay attention to your significant contributions and
ensure they included you in all group meetings to get your opinions.
Now that the issue of meeting schedule has been acknowledged, would you mind serving
as the moderator to plan team meetings that include each team member and alter meeting
timings as necessary to meet deadlines for finishing meetings and tasks allocated in
meetings?
We thus agree that you may plan team meetings such that each team member can attend
every meeting moving forward. Making sure everyone is heard and has the freedom to
express their opinions on a certain issue will help the team operate as effectively as possible
Kyo that sounds amazing, all right. Let's check in next week to assess the quality of
similarly held meetings, team performance so far, and most importantly, whether or if team
coordination has improved. Since you are now the meeting moderator, you should choose the
date and time for this follow-up meeting and let me know the same.
When team members disagree, a conventional manager will attempt to mediate by using
logic and persuasion (Fu et al., 2022). For instance, a conventional leader could disregard the
disagreement between Kyo and Mike about whether team members should be included in
meetings to make decisions quickly and efficiently, even if certain team members' opinions
are not necessary. Because setting objectives and completing tasks are more crucial for
conventional leaders.
Instead, an inclusive manager would design a plan for how he wanted to engage with
his teams, laying out specific requirements for each team member, individually and
collectively (Fu et al., 2022). To improve team productivity, he will aim to promote the
workspace as a safe area where workers are encouraged to discuss their concerns and ideas.
For instance, I offered to listen to Kyo's complaints that she was being stereotyped. Still, I
also made an effort to end the argument between Kyo, Mike, and Tom by suggesting Kyo
serve as the meeting's moderator to conduct meetings with the participation of the entire team
