a.You
have done progressive and Semi Group Tasks with your group. You know the
capabilities of each candidate.
b.
Now you are
clear about the rules and regulations.
c.
You have
learnt the technique of doing different things.
d.You
have worked in leaderless environments, where you emerged as a natural
leader or not is still a secret.
e.Now
they will make every candidate a leader in turn to specifically judge
his leadership qualities.
f. They
will also judge the others as subordinate and to what extent they are
helpful to the commander (cooperative).
g.
I am sure
you must have created more friendship with group during the night.
a.
Group will
assemble at a given place. Reach at every place 5 min earlier (punctual)
(In armed forces in time means 5 mins earlier and on time means late).
b.
Say
‘Assalam-o-alaikum sir’ to GTO smilingly once he comes.
c.
He will
have some chit chat with all of you; you should be looking fine and
fresh. Try to have a little chat with GTO.
d.
You should
be looking enthusiastic and eager to participate.
e.
GTO will tell you all general things about the command
task. Then suddenly he will ask: who will be the first leader? You
should be already waiting for this question. Everybody will raise his
hand but you should be the first
one to raise your hand
before anybody (initiative), your body should lean forward with a
willing face expression (practice in front of a mirror).
f.
GTO has his own plan. He may say OK or nominate another
person. Recently a successful candidate volunteered every time but he
was the last to be made a commander.
g.
It occurs
in every mind that one should not be the first one to do the command
task so that one should become commander after seeing two or three
commanders. Don’t let this come to your mind and must, must volunteer
at the very first opportunity. If you are not made the Fist commander
then every time you must volunteer. And this should be your action every
where.
h.
He will
take you away from the group. Ask few personnel questions about parents
or will have a little chit chat with you. you should be looking fresh
and enthusiastic.
i.
One
reaching the task, he will tell you about the task. You clarify your
doubts. Ask him if you could go around the task. He will tell you that
you have 8 minutes time. Start to plan and call your group.
j.
Go around
the task while planning if allowed. Do not take more than one min
in planning.
k.
Better it
is that once the GTO is telling u, the plan should emerge in your mind.
But at the same time, listen to GTO very carefully and you should not
miss a single word and detail which he tells.
l.
While going
with the GTO you had already told your group “keep looking towards me
and when I call come running”, your group name was F.
m.
After
making your plan, you turned towards your group which was standing
little away. As you turn towards them they become alert. You called ‘F
group, come here’. So loudly that nearby GTOs and group started looking
towards you (commanding voice).
n.
‘Move fast,
run up’. This was your 2nd shout (you are assertive).
o.
When they
reached you tell them ‘line up behind start line. Keep material in
front.’
p.
If you ask
them to stand according to chest number it will also show your
leadership and management qualities. (Chest number 56 on right, followed
by chest number 57 and so on”
q.
You stand
at a position, from where you are facing the group and the material and
the task is visible to you and the group.
r.
Ok
gentlemen, ‘the task which we have to perform in next about 7 minutes is
in front of you. You are already clear about rules and regulations,
which will be followed at all cost. Now carefully listen to my plan’.
Chest no 58, who has proved his physically fitness will lead the team,
chest no 57 will place the plank on start line and raised pair bricks,
56 will pick the drum and move to angle bar, chest not 58 and I will
also join him. He will pick the plank and use it for moving to next
stage, I will stay on angle bar. The plank will be passed back, this is
how we all will move step by step.’
I would
have invited your suggestions but due to shortage of time have faith in
my plan.
s.
It has
become a long para, you will not take more than 30 seconds to say all
this. You may say all this in Urdu if the GTO has allowed.
t.
Make
such a paragraph in your own words, memorize it and repeatedly say
loudly so that it becomes easy for you there.
u.
Now during
the task:
·
Keep yourself in the centre.
·
Do not let anybody do a thing at his own.
·
Keep a complete control and keep on giving step by step
instructions.
·
Help in physical
activity where required (do it once or twice at least) but
must keep a control of
overall activity.
·
Make your best efforts to complete the task.
·
Remain calm and cool; do
not be harsh with anybody. Keep a complete control over
your emotions.
·
Do not panic if the plan is not succeeding. I know many
candidates who got selected, could not complete their command task.
·
In case of some difficult jump etc move forward and do
it yourself. (self example)
