Diverse perspective, in as far as they help find a better solution which will benefit all should be encouraged. As a coach I would serve as an active and discerning listening and help the team with refraining towards the big picture and unity of purpose.

In William Ury’s book The Third Side, he opens by stating, "No more important challenge faces us today than how to deal with our differences. Conflict, when approached constructively, can spark creativity and innovation by fostering divergent thinking and the exploration of new solutions. To ensure objectivity, it’s crucial to set a mutually agreed upon stage. Acknowledge that conflict is inevitable and is an opportunity to drive innovation. By concentrating on the problem at hand, committing to mutual respect, and actively listening to diverse viewpoints, the executive team can uncover valuable insights, enhance alignment, and move forward with greater strength.

Conflicting viewpoints among senior executives are part of what c-suite is paid for: representing the area they are accountable for, despite others have different viewpoints. The best thing to cultivate is for senior leaders to love conflict! As every conflict is an opportunity to work for more understanding and towards alignment. The role of a coach is to ensure the space and process for result oriented conversation, not the content.

When we are dealing with C-suited participants, we need to be super careful. While interacting with them we should never get into the political base. We need to navigate them towards the bigger picture. All i do is listen to them fully. I do not give my opinion. I ask a few questions which are pertaining to their issue & certainly not about others. We need to be really mindful about our moves in coaching

Als Coach und Moderator sollten Sie immer eine neutrale Haltung einnehmen. Nicht Ihre Meinung ist gefragt sondern Ihr Job ist es, Ihre Teilnehmer und Coachees zu moderieren und diese durch Ihre Fähigkeiten, Erfahrungen und methodischen Fertigkeiten zum bestmöglichen Ergebnis zu führen. Daher gibt es für mich diese Frage gar nicht! Es ist die wichtigste Haltung eines Coachs und Mentors, aus der Haltung der Neutralität ein konkretes Ziel zu verfolgen. Auch in allen anderen Coaching Situationen ist dies die oberste Prämisse! Coachs die darauf reinfallen, sich auf die eine oder andere Seite ziehen zu lassen, sollten den Auftrag sofort abbrechen! Macht aber keiner!
