The Lost Art of Counseling: Leading Beyond Paperwork! l BLx l Ep. 021

In this episode of the Backbone Leader Exchange, SGT Cashe and SSG Jones call leaders back to one of the most overlooked but powerful tools of leadership, counseling. They break down why counseling isn’t just a form, it’s a lifeline. Through personal stories and raw leadership truth, they show how real counseling builds trust, shapes careers, and prevents problems before they start. If you’ve ever rushed a session, skipped the follow-up, or told yourself “it’s just a formality”, this episode is your wake-up call. Because the future of the Army isn’t written in policy, it’s written in conversations between leaders and Soldiers, one counseling at a time. Because of you, our Army is better!
