1-4 YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES WILL EXTEND BOTH UP AND DOWN THE CHAIN OF COMMAND. Both officer and enlisted personnel will expect you to translate general orders  into  detailed, practical, on-the-job language even relatively inexperienced personnel can understand and follow. In dealing with your subordinates, see that they perform their work properly. At the same time, explain to your superiors  any  important  needs  or  problems  of  your subordinates. YOU    WILL    BE    REGULARLY    AND CONTINUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR TRAINING. Even if you are lucky enough to have a highly skilled and well-trained work group, you will still find training is necessary. For example, you will always be responsible for training lower rated personnel for advancement and training inexperienced or poorly trained personnel. You also may need to train personnel for a particular job requiring skills none of your personnel have. You will need to conduct additional training when you get new hardware and new people who have not been trained on certain equipment. Since these and similar problems will require your involvement in some training, prepare to conduct formal and informal training programs. YOU WILL HAVE  THE  ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITY OF WORKING IN COORDINATION WITH OTHERS. As you advance, you will find many of your plans and decisions affect many people. Some of those decisions may even affect people in other divisions or departments. For that reason, you need to understand the duties and responsibilities of personnel in other ratings. Learn as much as you can about the work of other ratings. Then plan your work to fit in with the overall mission of the organization. AS YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES INCREASE, YOUR ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE CLEARLY AND EFFECTIVELY  ALSO  MUST  INCREASE.  The basic requirement for effective communication is a good knowledge   of   the   language   of   your   rating.   Use appropriate and accepted language in speaking and in writing.  Remember  that   the   basic   purpose   of   all communication is understanding. To lead, supervise, and train others, you must be able to speak and write so that others can understand exactly what you mean. A second requirement for effective communication in the Navy is the use of common Navy terminology. The Navy has standardized some terms to ensure efficient communication. For example, port, starboard, bow, stern, overhead, and deck are Navy terms used for specific purposes. When a situation calls for the use of standard Navy terminology, use it. Another requirement of effective communication is the ability to use technical terms correctly. The correct use of technical language will help you to receive and pass along information accurately and to exchange ideas clearly with others. If you cannot understand the precise meaning of the technical language of your work, you will be  at  a  disadvantage  when  you  try  to  read  official publications about your work. You also will be at a great disadvantage when you take the advancement examination for the  next  higher  rate.  Although  you always should use technical terms correctly, make a special effort to do so when dealing with lower rated personnel. Since you are their leader, they look to you for guidance and direction and will imitate you. Act, talk, and give directions as if you were on the receiving end instead of the giving end. YOU  WILL  HAVE  THE  INCREASED RESPONSIBILITY OF KEEPING UP WITH NEW DEVELOPMENTS.   Practically   everything   in   the Navy—policies, procedures, equipment, publications, systems, and so forth—is subject to change and is in various stages of development. Keep informed of all changes and new developments that might affect your work  by  reading  various  instructions,  notices,  and periodicals connected with your technical work.
