Abstract:

This monograph is an elaboration of the counseling dimension identified as one of nine essential organizational leadership dimensions in leadership Monograph No. 8, A Matrix of Organizational Leadership Dimensions 1976 AD-A090 479. It attempts to clarify the purpose, scope, and skills inherent in the counseling function of the leadership role. Drawing upon selected counseling literature, the intent is to provide Army leaders, curriculum developers, and instructors with an understanding of the specific behaviorally based competencies that constitute effective counseling. This monograph is not offered as a how-to-counsel handbook with solutions for the myriad of situations that arise calling for counseling skills. It is instead intended to be a publication that generates discussion and that offers direction for those who are concerned with improving counseling training programs in the Army and individual counseling proficiency.
