Collaboration &Teamwork
Coaching Layer
Coaching an Embedded Practice in real work.
Ask one real question before you finalize, so the work gets better before it ships.
Before you finalize, ask one person one real question. Not for approval — but because their perspective makes the work better.
Are they catching it in time?
Work is about to go out that someone else will act on or build from. Note whether you're reading, witnessing, or hearing about it secondhand.
Is the new or default action running?
Did they ask someone a real question before sending, or finalize and send without checking? Can't tell, ask. Can tell, reinforce it.
Is this a pattern, or one good moment?
Questions get asked before work goes out, not after gaps surface. Check this holds across more than one deliverable.
Is it showing up unprompted?
No prompting needed. They ask before they send by default, and the people they ask start expecting to be looped in.
- The Practitioner finalizes and sends.
- Gaps surface later, as revisions or surprises.
- The Practitioner asks one real question first.
- The gap is caught before the work ever leaves their hands.
Consistent evidence a real question gets asked before the work goes out — without a reminder.
