Thoughts roaming back and forth in my head.

Leadership – Part Four

Posted on | July 18, 2011 | No Comments

Within a coaching or psychotherapeutic group, one client may assume the leader role by instigating or directing the group in a particular  new direction. This is the fulfillment of dialogue; the expression of ideas back and forth, that synergize to create new knowledge. My clients take certain terms, expressing their opinions on such issues as relationships, careers, and lack of self-efficacy, and these invariably lead to new questions and further dialogue. Each one of these interruptions creates paradigm shifts along the streams of focus for this group. Each group member in either group offers their beliefs and in this way the leadership of the group is reconstituted within the same session and among the succeeding sessions, usually to the betterment of the whole proceeding.

Points of conflict can be points of great learning. Usually one regards these disagreements as problems in the pursuit of the  fastest solution with smallest risk. Often these solutions are short-term fixes. Shawn Nichols, MA, CC shawnnichols.com
