What is the value of social capital? - Social Capital Research

S - PO1 George Martin asked the following question on RallyPoint, "How would you react to an E2 who "smart mouths" you in formation?" And he provided further background information on the issue.

T - Offer advice and/or mentorship to a RallyPoint member.

A - My advice was to de-escalate the situation posthaste. Dismiss the E2 from formation and instruct him/her to wait in a secluded office or other location - seclusion offers opportunity for introspection - until ready to deliver verbal and/or written counseling/corrective action.

At this point, the leader achieves the initial objective of manage their anxiety and the counselee's until he/she has internalized the infraction. This is also where a leader's knowledge of motivation and human behavior is imperative.

Depending on one's MOS/AFSC (grunt or POG (persons other than grunts)) - and I've been both - and the personality of the counselee, my next objective is to correct the smart-mouthing without jeopardizing the counselee's future use of real courage. My reaction can be summed up with two sayings: 1) "Don't eat your young", and 2) "Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater."

R - Although I've yet to receive any feedback from P01 George Martin - and neither did others, I think that posited good feedback to a community that helped shape my leadership values, and I added value to P01 George Martin's social capital by voting up a great question. More importantly, after reading poor responses provided by others, I also learned what NOT to do .
