2. I gave you these problems not to see if you could solve the problems, but to rather observe your reactions to the problems. Typically when you get into a group situation you observe certain types of behavior. In order to be a successful coach, you must understand how people will react in a learning situation. a) The first observation was immediate quiet as each of you tried to gain understanding b) Secondly was a development of team dynamics as one person spoke, and others thought/listened c) The third stage was shared discussion of information – 1 to 1 – altogether d) The fourth observation was the development of possible solutions – this is the Brainstorming stage of a learning situation e) The final observation was the final decision/group consensus of how the problem was to be solved These are the specific behaviors of how people react in a learning situation. 3. For my presentation I have chosen the concept of COACHING. This topic is an obvious one for me since I have spent much of my life playing hockey and therefore involved with team sports. With every team there is a coach and they approach things differently, however, the final outcome of WINNING is common. This I feel is the same in the business world. To characterize some coaching strategies I have experienced I will focus on my hockey career. a) In Junior, I had a coach that I would characterize as hard nosed. He demanded a strong work ethic from his players and a high level of dedication to the game. His attitude towards coaching was “this is how you do it” and “I’ll show you!” how to play the game. As a coach, he relied heavily on intimidation and the fear of failure in order to get the most out of his players. The team respected his views and worked hard for him, mainly because of his playing experience in the NHL. When I look back this was effective for teenagers, but not a strategy that worked over the long-term. b) My success at the Junior level led to a full hockey scholarship at Colgate University. When I played at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York a Division 1 school the coaching philosophy was somewhat different. Our coach approached the assignment as a long term goal.
