There are six major objectives to accomplish during the counseling session:
a. Identify the member’s important strengths and shortcomings. A fair, accurate, and realistic assessment of the member’s performance is crucial to the counseling process.
b. Address specific performance problems, concentrating on ways to develop growth in these areas. Also address the member’s strengths and encourage their further development. Point out ways to improve, but do not dwell on unimportant faults in the belief that criticism is essential to counseling.
c. Present a performance growth plan, if appropriate. Be sure that goals are challenging but realistic and attainable for the member.
d. Ensure members have a clear understanding and acknowledge their performance during the review period.
e. Review what is expected of the member before the next counseling session or evaluation report. Ensure the member understands the supervisor’s expectations.
f. Ensure Transition Assistance Program Military Life Cycle counseling for members is conducted. A Military Life Cycle fact sheet can be found at: http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/career/transition/Pages/TAP.aspx.
