If they are off task, I will
remind them that they are off task. Usually though, however,
when I do that, I will do it by going off task with them
first. They will be talking about the Coyotes game last
night, and I will say "Yeah, I can't believe how bad the
power play was." I'll go ahead and talk about the Coyotes
game for twenty seconds, but then I will say, "But we're off
task," and get them back that way. . . . In terms of
intervening when they get off track, again, I do that; but I
don't just do it by saying they're off track. I do it by
trying to ask the right questions, so they see they're off
track, by redirecting the thinking so they get towards the
right track, rather than saying, "Wait a minute, you're off
track. Here's where you ought to be." I try to get them to
realize what's going on, get them to redirect, new
direction. It's steering for sure, but it's not a real
abrupt steer; it's a subtle steer.
