    TSgt Goen is preparing to conduct a counseling session with A1C Chapa for failing to fill out the AF Form 1800 correctly.  Goen had verbally counseled him twice before for the same incident.  When Chapa arrived, Goen opened up the counseling session by telling Chapa, “Your hard work is appreciated in the work section; however, sometimes you work so fast you overlook small details.  This is the third time we have had to discuss this issue.  You leave me no choice; I have to give you paperwork the next time.” TSgt Goen’s actions BEST illustrate ineffective use of _______ and its impact on NCO effectiveness.

    Explanation
    TSgt Goen's actions illustrate ineffective use of progressive discipline and its impact on NCO effectiveness.
