How to Approach Command Task

In Command Task, each candidate is required to do one task with same rules of Progressive Group Task, except the group rule. The GTO will call each candidate one by one at random. He will walk with you for some distance and do some casual talking before finally taking you to the task. You will be allowed to choose two team members from within the group who will help you during the task. You will get around 15-20 minutes to complete the task. 

The major qualities that emerge out of the candidate through this task are:

• Your urge and capacity to lead a group.
• Effective Intelligence.
• Organizing ability.
• Power of Expression.
• Your control over the task and your subordinates.
• Initiative
• Self-Confidence.
• Speed of decision making.
• Cooperation with the commander, when you get called as a subordinate.
• Your courage, determination and stamina.
  

• Do not panic and maintain your composure.
• Pay attention when the task is being explained to you.
• During the casual talk, do not try to become too friendly with the GTO.
• After the task is explained, call your team mates and brief them about the task.
• Give clear instruction to your sub-ordinates and do not let them interfere with your own ideas.
• Do not shout at your subordinates.
• You are expected to help in the physical execution of the task. So help your subordinates as well.
• Do not give up easily and try not to ask your subordinates for suggestion. However, if you are unable to proceed, you may ask one suggestion.
