Group Planning Exercise at SSB / FSB Interview- Practice set 03

Group Plan Ex -03 Indian Coast Guard 2014 Feb Noida

You are a group of eight young engineering students as well as NCC Cadets, you had attended a week of leadership training camp at ARJUN College at BHIMBA. You were going to SARAKA town where you are staying in a hostel. You were to report at the college SARAKA by 16:30 Hours.  While you were at the cross road tea stall, having tea and waiting for the bus, at that time you saw man who was bleeding from his head, came towards you and saying that he was a car driver who had two passengers, who were planning to plant a bomb on the Road – Rail Track, at 1430 hours so that they can derail the passenger train that was supposed to pass the bridge at 1430 hours. Since the driver raised the voice to know who they were, they bet him with their gun and threw him out of the car and drove the car away. Saying this he fainted at the tea stall.  Just then another person came by a bicycle and informed you that a school van with 15 children had gone off the bridge and slowly sinking in the river. At the same time another man came to inform you that a snake has entered into the house and you should help him catch it. On enquiry you found that there is motor garage nearby who has a recovery vehicle.

You do not have any cell phone of local phone at the shop. The tea shop had just one person. You can make assumptions.   The time now is 1410 hours. The road you are standing now has very little traffic and the bus is expected at 1420 hours. The bus speed is just 40 km per hour.

You as brave cadets what actions will you take?

Follower and a Performer

Tips for success by Lt.Col CS Jayavel

The Services Selection Board is on the lookout for PERFORMERS and not the

FOLLOWERS
 or

OBESRVERS

Find out who you are:-

An observer is a person who is satisfied to let others do the job and is satisfied that SOMEONE will do it

A Follower on the other hand if he does it I will help him. If I am told I will do, if not leave it as it is.

A Performer, I can do it, If I don’t others will not do it, Let me set an example.

Can this be seen in our day to day life???

Suresh is the School people leader
