The Thin Line Between Being Strong And Dominant

As we all know SSB is an event of cooperation and working with people who when don’t know before. The idea behind is it to see how well we get along with people and what is our attitude when we do the same.

Every aspirant who comes there is with one motive and that is to get recommended, but in the process of doing so they forget the important point of cooperation and dominate. This sometimes is conscious and sometimes subconscious.

Below are few scenarios of SSB where this can happen:

  1. Discussion during screening

Right after the word go from the assessor people try had to project their point of view in the discussion, the idea being to project themselves and their story. This is ok to an extent but we need to be careful and let other points too because in PPDT you are expected to come down to a conclusion so cooperation is more important than dominance, If the other person story is logical be supportive and try to add you point in it as well.

  1. During Group discussions

The idea behind GD is to see the depth of your understanding and the way you convey you’re thought to the team. When you have a valid point that can take the discussion forward put it forth at the same time listen to others and put the point so as to take the discussion forward. When you feel their point is not right, project it politely and not saying it wrong right away, the best way to do it is being factual.

In GD it is seen how accommodative you are to ideas and can take a team discussion forward, yes your knowledge is tested but repetitive talking is not appreciated, be strong on your point but don’t dominate the discussion. At times it can happen subconsciously try to control it.

  1. GTO Tasks

Like GD the idea again is to see the level of cooperation. This is not the place to show you never give up attitude. Do not keep implementing your ideas alone, this shows that you are not open to ideas and don’t keep taking initiative without a plan. Neither being strong not dominance will help you in this, so corporate to succeed.

The most common mistake is that we try to be dominant just to make sure you are seen by the assessor, but they watch all your progress so try to get the task done rather than being dominant.

Being strong on your point is always right thing to do but it should be a conscious decision considering all the logical scenarios, else you will end up dominant and can take in wrath of your teammates which is not ideal. You can certainly ensure you maintain the line between being dominant and strong by keep a check on yourself and asking for feedback from you mates, friends, colleagues so to be at the right frequency during you SSB.
