Absent any other guidance and on his own initiative, one of your platoon leaders, 1LT Monte, presented you with a request to do a much needed maintenance inspection for his platoon. He wanted all assigned company TO&E equipment laid out for an inspection, vehicle and commo mechanics present, and the squad leaders leading the conduct of each step in the training manual, step-by-step. You approved the inspection, scheduled it, and resourced it.

Five weeks later, you observed the maintenance inspection being conducted. The vehicles were getting the close attention they needed. You could hear 1LT Monte and the platoon sergeant quizzing and then coaching the squad leaders about the special checks needed to ensure equipment serviceability.

SESSION I, SUMMARY

• Why is subordinate development such an important leader responsibility and who benefits?

• What do the 23 core leadership dimensions have to do with leadership development?

• How do we go about developing our subordinates to achieve their full leadership potential?

Because today’s soldiers are tomorrow’s NCO’s. Everyone!

DEVELOPING SUBORDINATES

Step 1 - Observe and record leadership actions

Page 19: Develops Subordinate Lead

19

OBSERVATIONS

• All acts (verbal and nonverbal), appearances, and actions are valid opportunities for assessment

• Ensure observations are complete

• Observations must be objective

Page 20: Develops Subordinate Lead

20

OBSERVATION (Con’t)

• Note and record elapsed time

• Note actions NOT taken. They are equally important

• Use direct quotes when possible

• Use bullet comments rather than complete sentences

• Record behaviors in chronological sequence

• Do not allow winning, losing, or mission accomplishment to influence recorded behaviors

• Use “START” format

Page 21: Develops Subordinate Lead

21

“START” ACRONYM

S - SITUATION: Record the situation in which the leader is involved

T - TASK: Describe the task assigned to the leader A - ACTION: As accurately as possible, record all

actions taken by the leader during the accomplishment of the taskR - RESULT: What resulted from the leader’s actions?T - TIME: Include the date, time and duration of the

event

DEVELOPING SUBORDINATES

Step 1 - Observe and record leadership actions

Step 2 - Compare what you see to performance indicators; classify the observations to determine if the behavior exceeds, meets, or fails to meet the standard

Page 24: Develops Subordinate Lead

24

CLASSIFY BEHAVIORS

• Use all written, verbal, and nonverbal information

• Use leadership dimension definitions and associated behaviors

• Though a behavior may fit more than one dimension, list it under the most appropriate one (“best fit”)

Page 25: Develops Subordinate Lead

25

RATING BEHAVIORS

E EXCELLENT: EXCEEDS REQUIREMENTS FOR SUCCESSFUL TASK ACCOMPLISHMENT.

S SATISFACTORY: MEETS REQUIREMENTS FOR SUCCESSFUL TASK ACCOMPLISHMENT.

NI NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: DOES NOT MEET REQUIREMENTS FOR SUCCESSFUL TASK ACCOMPLISHMENT.

Page 26: Develops Subordinate Lead

26

COACHING

Step 1 - Observe and record leadership actions.

Step 2 - Assess and compare what you see to performance indicators; classify the observations to determine if the behavior exceeds, meets, or fails to meet the standard.

Step 3 - Coach the subordinates - tell the subordinates what you saw and give them a chance to assess themselves.

Page 27: Develops Subordinate Lead

27

COACHING AND PROVIDING FEEDBACK

• Be knowledgeable of the leadership dimensions

Page 31: Develops Subordinate Lead

COUNSELING

Subordinate-centered communication that outlines actions necessary for subordinates to achieve individual and organizational goals.

Page 32: Develops Subordinate Lead

32

SUBORDINATE-CENTERED (TWO-WAY) COMMUNICATION

Subordinates assume an active role in the counseling session and maintain responsibility for their actions. The following skills assist leaders in subordinate-centered counseling:

- Active Listening- Responding- Questioning

Why should the subordinate be active in the session? So he/she will take responsibility for

the issue.

Page 33: Develops Subordinate Lead

33

LEADER ATTITUDES FOR EFFECTIVE ACTIVE LISTENING

• Stop talking• Look and act interested• Remove distractions• Be patient• Hold your temper or opinions• Use non-verbal skills

Page 34: Develops Subordinate Lead

34

FACTORS THAT LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO FULLY LISTEN

• Doing something while the subordinate is talking

• Inability to stay quiet

• Selective listening

• Ignoring non-verbal message(s)

• Biases

Page 35: Develops Subordinate Lead

35

THE LEADER AS A COUNSELOR

Leaders have a responsibility to develop their subordinates.During counseling, the leader acts primarily as a helper, not a judge.

When should a leader counsel to develop subordinates?

How can a leader be both an evaluator/judge and a helper/counselor?

Whenever there is a need for two-waycommunication to develop subordinate leaders.

Be open and honest.

Page 36: Develops Subordinate Lead
