For each type of session, you should understand the nature of the problem and the purpose or intent of the meeting. You should also understand the desired results,  actions,  or  behaviors  following  a  session. Some key counseling points are as follows: ·   Perform  counseling  to  solve  a  problem  or  to fulfill a need. ·   Determine   interview   goal   before   meeting. Review available records. ·   Give  the  individual  the  facts,  whether  they  are pleasant or unpleasant. ·   Be a good listener. Be fair. ·   Refer   the   individual   to   other   resources   for professional help. ·   Keep the individual’s problem confidential. ·   Help the individual grow in self-understanding. ·   DO   NOT   lose   your   self   control.   The   results could be disastrous. ·   DO NOT make promises you can’t keep. ·   DO NOT be quick to decide; not all problems are solvable in a single counseling session. ·   DO NOT forget to document formal counseling and have the counseling sheet signed. When counseling is necessary, no matter what the reason,  you  should  first  try  to  “set  the  stage.”  What does  that  mean?  If  possible,  wait  until  after  normal work hours or at least until a lull occurs in the tempo of operations  to  talk  with  the  individual  or  individuals. Try  to  find  a  quiet  place  where  interruptions  will  not occur. You may have difficulty finding a quiet place in many operating environments, but do the best you can. Your quiet place may be an office or a vacant corner of the  hangar  deck,  but  try  to  get  as  much  privacy  as circumstances allow. Nondirective  counseling  occurs  when  you  allow your subordinates to determine the direction of sessions. Your  primary  task  is  to  listen  to  what  they  are  saying. Show  you  are  actively  listening  by  reacting  to  what  is said.  Occasionally  restate  what  has  been  said.  Try  to develop   a   nonevaluative   style   of   listening   and responding. That will encourage individuals to open up and  work  out  frustrations,  fears,  and  worries  without fear of embarrassment. Often, simply letting people talk out   problems   can   help   them   find   a   solution.   Use occasional, general questions to guide the conversation. Avoid questions that can be answered “yes” or “no.” Often your counseling efforts will consist of little more   than   providing   information,   pointing   out infractions,   or   pointing   out   failure   to   use   common sense.  How  you  counsel  will  depend  entirely  upon your  personality  and  the  personality  of  the  individual receiving   the   counseling.   Use   common   sense   in developing  your  approach.  At  other  times  you  will have  to  work  a  little  harder  to  get  to  the  root  of  a problem and help find a solution. When an individual approaches you with a request for specific information or your opinion, provided it is of a professional nature and not a personal nature, guide them to a resolution. Exercise caution when expressing opinions, however, as   they   can   become   loaded   guns   if   not   carefully thought out and expressly worded. If the concern is of a personal  nature,  provide  them  with  sources  of  help. The Navy has trained professionals for this sort of help. We  all  want  to  help  our  shipmates;  however,  caution should  be  exercised  when  providing  assistance  with personal matters. You,  as  a  frontline  leader,  are  the  first  link  in spotting  problems.  You  are  in  daily  contact  with  the workers  in  your  unit  or  division.  Be  sure  you  know how  to  spot  problems  and  counsel  your  workers.  If you  can’t  solve  a  problem,  pass  it  up  the  chain  of command. If you ignore it, it may grow into a bigger problem. Don’t  be  afraid  to  seek  help  when  faced  with  an unfamiliar   situation.   Your   chain   of   command, chaplain’s  office,  legal  officer,  and  personnel  office often  can  help  solve  problems  or  offer  advice.  Be aware  of  the  resources  available  to  you.  The  morale and  job  performance  of  your  people  depend  on  your ability to manage human resources. Unless you make a   conscious   effort   to   develop   that   ability,   your leadership will never reach its full potential. 1-12 Q11.
