How to complete Monthly Performance Counseling for Junior Enlisted

I appreciate the compliment

First I want to thank you for your service. I also believe leading by example is the most effective method to developing Soldiers. I whole heartily understand Army leaders have a lot on their plate and time is a valuable resource. That's partly why I have developed this video series on counseling. In today's Army, there is a lot more emphasis on counseling and documenting not just the negative actions of Soldiers. Once deployments slowed down after 2010, SMA Chandler launched a leadership campaign called Back to Basics. I think a lot of the Army felt, that we as an organization, had slacked on leader development during the surge mid 2000's. We were slacking. The Army was worried about recovering from deployment, re-gearing, integrating new personal as fast as possible, and packing up to head back over. But today is a much different Army. I feel Army leadership schools are mostly just to check the box and not focusing on leadership skills that matter. I had a lot to learn quickly when I took over my first platoon even though I had all my leadership schools completed. I could go on but long story short, expectations of leaders have changed. Is it for better or worse? Who's to say? All I know is that the Army is still the fiercest fighting force on planet Earth.
