Outdoor
tasks in which your influencing ability, creativity, planning ability,
cooperation with group fellows, and leadership qualities are checked….
TOTAL GTO TASKS
1.
Progressive group task (3 stages)
2.
Semi or half group task (tricky one)
3.
Command task (your own task in which you would be a leader of your group)
I
will be posting them one by one….
1: PROGRESSIVE GROUP TASK
First
of all there would be progressive task…consisting of 3 stages…one after another….if
your group clear first stage then only you can go to the 2nd stage…and same is
the case with 3rd stage as well……time for this task is 40 minutes….but gto can
say “wind up” anytime he wants before your time is over.
Now
gto will take you to the task area and will brief you like this….(gentleman
this is your task….you can see white lines in the start and at the end ….this
is ur starting line and in the end that is your finishing line…you can see some
platforms red, blue white etc…(red is always out of bound…blue may inbound for equipment’s…..white
and yellow is inbound for your body…and remember all ground except platforms is
out of bound for your body and equipment’s…..) You have to take all equipment’s
along with your group fellows and cross the finishing line……bla bla bla….)
Anything
you do against gto instructions will be considered as foul…. While listening to
the gto’s instructions. (Listen carefully that jumping and throwing is allowed
or not)...then…in the meanwhile try to make good plan in your mind for the task….(the
task may have 2 ways right or left…..here check which way is possible…dont go
for easy one ok look for possible way out…….)
After
that when gto’s instruction is over and gto says “gentleman your time starts
now”. And he will sit on the chair adjacent to your task with black glasses to
observe you.
Remember
don’t rush towards the equipment’s rather be a prominent group member and try
to tell them your plan, try to convince them and try to influence them so that
they listen to you…and your plan is applied in that about your plan but your
plan should be applicable…..in this case you would become a type of leader and
that is the way to get recommendation from gto….and good remarks from him…
INSTRUCTIONS FOR GTO TASKS
1:
listen to the instructions carefully specially (jumping and throwing allowed or
not)
2:
look at the task carefully all platforms and make some good plan to cross it
3:
speak loudly and clearly while calling your group fellow
4:
never show selfish behavior….otherwise gto will ruin you…
5:don’t
look at the gto…let him do his own job and you do your own job
6:
if you fall from a platform sometime…don’t panic….just say “sorry sir ‘foul’
and continue again”
7:
try to commit less fouls...
8:
enter in the task first and take the initiative...
9:
help your fellow as much as you can….help them in carrying heavy equipment’s
like drum etc.
10:
come out of the task when all your group fellows have crossed finishing line….
11:
be very careful in handling equipment’s and throwing them. If throwing is
allowed
12:
try to make best plan in which the task is completed in less time…
13:
try to be polite with your group fellows…..
14:
dont try to cross the finishing line selfishly even if you can….first help your
group fellows to cross and then at the end you cross ….if possible…
I
have tried my best to cover all important factors….
Incase
if you don’t understand any point or have some problem…then feel free to inbox
me your query…inshaa Allah will sort it out…don’t worry..!!!
2. Semi group task or half
group task
Yesterday
i posted about progressive task. Today i will tell you about semi group task.
After
progressive group task when gto will say to you “gentlemen! Your time is over…wind
up and put your equipment back on its place “then you will be having semi group
task.
(remember
it is not necessary that you will reach the 3rd stage in progressive group task
or u must …your group may fail to cross even 1st stage or get trapped in 2nd
stage….due to lack of planning…but you will have to show struggle ..Even if you
can’t proceed further …try it again and again but please don’t surrender…or say
“yaar nahi Hosakta”….show some struggle...try to find possible way….) in
progressive group task gto would have observed each one of you regarding your performance,
cooperation, planning and working. Now gto will divide your group in to 3 small
groups or (may be 4 groups) depends on the strength of ur group.
Gto
would have observed strong, normal and weak candidates in your group. Depending
on that he will divide ur group into small groups. Now here you can guess whether you stand
among strong ,normal or weak candidates….if you think you stand among weak then
work hard and try to prove yourself in upcoming tasks…specially command
task….and if you think you stand among strong then try more and increase your
grading …(gto won’t tell you about this ..Strong, normal or weak it’s his
secret observation)…..! Now you will be taken to a small task but a tricky one
and a tough one….the time for this task will be not more than 5 minutes… here
planks provided to you may not be sufficient in lengths to cross the task….but
again try ur mind and look for any possibility, ask for suggestions from your
group fellow and make a good plan for it…!!
3. COMMAND TASK IN ISSB
(MOST IMPORTANT TASK IN ISSB)
Hope
yesterday you all got an idea about semi group task or half group task.
Command
task in issb is to check how you command, how you make plan and implement it
and most importantly how you lead the group???….
On
4th day of issb you would be having your command task. (Each one of your group
members will have to become a leader once) gto will take your group to the task
area and your command task would be started. First of all gto will brief you
about command task and then will ask “who wants to do the command task first???
Take the initiative and raise your hand….now gto will choose someone among you
(may be you) and he will do the command task…!!! And then this process
continues!!!
Gto
will choose a task for you, when he chooses you for command task…now gto will
send other group members little bit far from your task……mostly towards a boundary
wall where all fellow have to face towards wall except one member whose face
would be towards gto and you../// now gto will take a light interview from you
while walking with you or may be in standing position…. (Interview may related
to ur bio data,academics,aim, and some personal questions etc. or regarding ur
interview yesterday with psych or deputy …it depends) in the meanwhile he will
brief you about your task (starting line finishing line, inbound places ,out of
bound places etc.) here note whether jumping and throwing is allowed or not in
this task…!!!(time for command task is 8 minutes but normally gto don’t give
you full 8 minutes) at the same time gto will tell you that have 2 minutes time
to make a plan for this task and then call your group fellows then
but(sometimes gto may try to gossip with you so that you cannot make plan for
your task)now when you make a plan for the task….you will have to call your
group fellows…..even if u fail to make plan for it …don’t waste time …call your
group and then make plan…!!! While calling your group by name …face towards
them and shout with a loud voice (for example) “””group a!!! ….come here!!”””
Then
your group will come and your command task is started…..some would be standing
as observer and rest of them would be your subordinates….!!!
(observers
will just observe you ,they will not be involved or inside your task .in fact they
would be standing outside the task….only subordinates will work in command task
under commander…!!!
INSTRUCTIONS AND TIPS FOR COMMAND
TASK
1:
first of all arrange your subordinates. Make them stand chest.no wise in
ascending order.
2:
use Urdu language throughout issb unless asked to speak English please...dont
ever try to be over efficient there even if you have good control over ur
english .
3:
use humble language. (Urdu)
4:
now start by saying bismillah and then brief them about your task. (Same
briefing given to you by gto)
E.g.
(dear group fellows…as you know we have been given this task. In which this
white line is starting line …that is finishing line, inbound, out of bound etc.
etc. etc.)
5:
now tell them your plan… e.g. (group fellow first we will do this and then we
will that etc. etc.)
6:
when you tell them your plan….ask them (any doubt group fellow???) Don’t ask
for suggestions…when they say “no” then start the task.
(I
have seen my fellows commanding from outside the task. Ordering them to take
everything and themselves doing nothing….remember they are your subordinates
not personal servants) so take a plank yourself and enter the task first….i
repeat enter the task first bcz u are a commander….then call your fellow inside
the task to help you out in completing the task.
7:
enter first and leave in the last when all your fellows have crossed finishing
line.
8:
try to call you weak fellows just after you enter the task and strong at the
back while you are in the middle….
8:
the best way to command is to be in the middle of your grip fellows inside the
task…!!
9:
choose the possible way not an easy way.
10:
dont go for shortcuts because mostly shortcuts will put you in trouble.
11:
the task may be sometimes easy or may be sometimes very difficult…but in both
cases show struggle, hard work, and most importantly never give up
12:
make one plan but a possible plan…doesn’t go for changing plan in the middle of
task. Make a good possible plan before entering the task.
12:
use your mind to get new ideas and plan
13:
remain active and check consequently your fellows whether they are committing
fouls or not….
14:
if they are doing fouls….then advises them silently not to commit fouls….
15:
the more fouls they commit...your marks will be deducted as much.
16:
dont ever shout on your fellow even if u gets angry sometimes.
17:
if you get trapped somewhere in the task or you don’t have a good plan…you can
ask Ur fellows for suggestions silently in a manner so that (gto shouldn’t see
u during this moment)
18:GTO
will pressurize you by saying Mr. Commander you have this much time remaining etc.
etc. ignore it…!!! Just carry on with ur task.
19:GTO
may sometimes ask you like (” Mr. Commander koi foul to nahi horaha???” ) then
watch your fellows they may be committing some small fouls…tell gto “yes sir
horaha hai” if really ur fellow is committing foul otherwise say no….but mostly
ur fellow would be committing fouls when gto says this!!
20:
remember one thing gto will not let you complete the task… even if you have
reached
21:
finishing line ….as soon as gto comes to know that this guy is going to complete
the task “he will say “Mr. Commander your time is finished. Thank you” make
your time over.” 22: so don’t worry if you don’t complete your task.
23:
show your struggle and ability in first 34 minutes and prove it to gto that you
are the person …they are looking for!!
I
tried my best to highlight important factors regarding command task and I hope
you all got a true idea of a command task.
4. FINAL GROUP TASK
The
time allowed on this venture is normally 10 minutes but typically it’s miles
shortened via one or two mints. As this mission, once again is a mission of
group as entire, consequently the characteristics of crew spirit, cooperation, initiative,
right making plans, and so on will count much.
