Counseling is imperative to manage the expectations of the Marine. Every Marine wants to know where they stand and what is expected of them. Counseling is the tool that establishes these expectations and articulates how well the individual Marine meets them. Counseling: •Establishes the seniors expectations •Establishes the billets within the unit assigned to the Marine •Establishes goals to be met before next scheduled counseling •Prevents against surprises on performance evaluations Cultivating potential Counseling focuses on improving performance, which increases unit readiness and effectiveness.

The senior benefits by knowing that the expectations are understood, that guidance has been provided toward meeting those expectations, and that there has been a significant contribution made to the development of the individual Marine: one of the most important responsibilities of the leader. The junior benefits by knowing where the senior stands, what the senior thinks of the junior's performance, good or bad, and what must be done to reach full potential as a Marine. The unit benefits when all of its members give continuous attention to the effectiveness of their performance and work to improve performance wherever it can be improved, thus increasing overall unit effectiveness and readiness. Lance corporals and below should receive an initial counseling approximately _____ days after the start of the senior/junior relationship and follow-on sessions every _____ days, or more frequently if necessary. 30, 30 TYPES OF COUNSELING Marine Corps policy establishes three types of counseling: directive, non- directive, and collaborative. Of the three types of counseling, the directive type is driven by senior-directed solutions; in the non-directive type, the senior allows two-way analysis to develop solutions; and in the collaborative-combination approach, the senior uses non-direct collaboration before directing the solution. DIRECTIVE COUNSELING With the directive approach, the senior carries the ball, analyzing the situation, developing a solution or a plan for improvement, and telling the junior what to do. This approach is "senior centered." The senior is open and frank about influencing the junior to be one kind of person rather than another. When questioning is used with directive counseling, closed-ended questions will be asked to elicit yes or no responses NON-DIRECTIVE COUNSELING With the nondirective counseling approach, the senior asks open-ended questions, listens, and draws the junior out. The senior helps the junior to analyze the situation and to develop the solution or plan for improvement. This approach is "junior centered." The junior is encouraged to talk, to be trouble free, and to have a clear mind while the senior helps the junior, mostly by listening. The goal of the nondirective approach is to help the junior become more mature and to develop personal resources. The junior "owns" the problem and the solution COLLABORATIVE COUNSELING A third option, a collaborative counseling approach, draws on both the directive and nondirective techniques. It offers the senior greater flexibility. It promotes joint diagnosis. The junior and the senior work as a team to diagnose and solve the junior's problem. This approach can succeed if the junior accepts the senior and is eager to solve the problem. With the collaborative counseling approach, the senior may emphasize directive or nondirective approaches, depending on the subject of the discussion, the purpose in mind, and the sense of how well the discussion is going NEGATIVE COUNSELING A negative counseling can occur after a standard is taught, understood, and subsequently ignored. Seniors have little tolerance for non-compliance, and if a junior is non-compliant, negative counseling will ensue. Examples include the following: not being at your appointed place of duty at the appointed time, failing to get a haircut, not shaving, or failing to render appropriate courtesies. A negative counseling is normally the result of a failed expectation. A failed expectation requires immediate correction and compliance. Negative counseling is usually informal and directive in nature, but can be formal. Negative counseling does not always result in an adverse performance evaluation, unless the failed expectation remains uncorrected. POSITIVE COUNSELING •Acknowledges good performance and/or adherence to expected standards •Can be formal during 30 day counseling or informal verbal accolade •Example: Marine receives praise for outstanding inspection results A senior using questioning to encourage the junior to talk while the senior mostly listens, also known as "junior centered," is an example of ________ counseling.
