What are the three categories of developmental counselings?

• A. Career counseling, Personal growth, Leadership development
• B. Performance, Event oriented, Professional growth
• C. Performance evaluation, Skills review, Career planning
• D. Mentoring, Coaching, Assessment

Answer: (B)

Developmental counseling is organized into three categories: performance counseling, event-oriented counseling, and professional growth counseling. Performance counseling focuses on improving how a subordinate performs their duties, with clear feedback tied to standards and expectations. Event-oriented counseling is conducted in response to a specific event or milestone—such as a transfer, a significant assignment, or after an incident—with a defined objective and short-term plan. Professional growth counseling targets long-term development, career progression, and expanding capabilities through planning, education, and experiential opportunities. The other groupings mix related ideas (career planning, mentoring, coaching, or broader evaluations) but don’t match the official three categories used for developmental counseling.
