actions  you  will  take  if  the  counselee  does  not follow through. Give the counselee some time to resolve  the  problem,  but  agree  on  a  follow-up session. Be sure to set a time and a place for the follow-up   session. Applying Concepts to Job Situations The  applying  concepts  to  job  situations  skill group   involves   one   skill—conceptualizing.   To become an outstanding petty officer and leader, conceptualize  in  the  following  way: —   Self-controlling —   Influencing —  Team  building —  Developing  subordinates —  Developing  positive  expectations —  Developing  realistic  expectations —   Understanding · Look at the situation. —   Conceptualizing · Rigorously  search  for  and  identify  the available facts. · Organize the facts and draw conclusions. SUMMARY In  your  role  as  a  learner  or  a  teacher,  you should   be   aware   of   the   four   learning   styles: concrete   experience,    reflective    observation, abstract  conceptualization,  and  active  experimen- tation.  To  be  an  effective  leader  and  instructor, you  need  to  know  your  own  dominant  learning style. A motive is a need or want based on desires or goals. A motive will cause you to think about what is needed to reach that goal and how to reach those needs. When  you  have  concern  for  efficiency  and effectiveness, you will perform tasks in the least wasteful manner to produce the intended results. Superior  leaders  have  16  basic  leadership skills: —  Setting  goals  and  performance  standards —  Taking  initiative —  Planning  and  organizing —  Optimizing  use  of  resources —  Delegating —  Monitoring —   Rewarding —   Disciplining Although  leaders  have  one  primary  leadership style,  they  sometimes  use  a  combination  of  the six   styles:    coercer,   authoritarian,   affiliator, democrat,  pacesetter,  and  coach.  The  effective- ness of a leadership style depends on the people being led, the requirements of the task, and the situation. You  will  conduct  four  types  of  advising  and counseling sessions: personal,    career, performance,   and   disciplinary.   Each   session involves  five  steps: 1. Starting the session 2. Creating suitable conditions for the session 3. Exploring and understanding the real (how the  situation  is  now) 4.  Moving  toward  the  ideal  (where  the counselee  would  like  to  be) 5.   Monitoring   and   following-up The  Navy  needs  professional  leaders  who  have high standards, possess great skills, and who are willing  to  study  and  learn  to  achieve  their  full potential.  As  a  petty  officer  it’s  your  job  to become an effective leader. Effective leaders use the knowledges and behaviors involved in the 16 leadership  skills.  The  extent  to  which  you,  as  a Navy leader, apply these leadership skills depends, in  part,  on  your  level  in  the  chain  of  command or  your  specific  job  situation.
