SSB INTERVIEW - Improve your Officer like Qualities (OLQs)

How often have you heard the comment, “He/She is a born leader?” there are certain characteristics found in some people that seem to naturally put them in a position where they’re looked up to as a leader. Whether infect a person is born a leader or develops skills and abilities to become a leader is open for debate. There are some OLQs that are found in good leaders. These qualities can be developed or may be naturally part of their personality.

Leadership Qualities:
            Leadership quality is the essence of an officer in armed force. A successful leader only can guide his team or men when they need proper guidance to save the country’s pride. A leader should possess special qualities which make him stand high among all others.
Initiative quality:
            A leader will always initiate a work and motivate all others to take part in the work. If a leader will not initiate a work and will ask others to do the work, then others may think that the leader is misleading the. So a candidate should showcase his initiative quality.
Resource fullness
            A leader should be resourceful. An officer working in armed forces will come under such circumstances where he needs to accomplish task assigned to him with the limited resources available with him. Thus SSB board will look whether a candidate have resourcefulness quality in himself or not.
 Communication skills:
            A leader should be able to communicate effectively with his followers so that he may convey his thoughts clearly. If communication skill of a person is not good, he may not become great leader. Communication skills bring the extra confidence in the leader.
Self confidence:
            Self confidence is a must quality for an officer. An officer should be confident enough to give orders to his subordinates and also he should have good confidence by which he can do any task allotted to him.

Decision making quality:
            An officer should have decision making quality in order to prevent major accidents and damage. One must be good decision maker in order to become a successful officer in armed forces. You will come across various situations where you need to make quick and best logical decision.
Persuasiveness quality:
            Persuasiveness is one of the most important OLQs. An officer should be able to persuade his subordinates for doing desired work, if an officer fails to persuade his juniors, then he will fails to accomplish the task assigned to him.
Liveliness quality:
            A leader should be lively enough to attract the group. If a leader is dull and gloomy then people may not trust him. So an officer should have the quality of liveliness in order to impress his juniors.
Delegation of responsibility:
            Delegation of responsibility is vital OLQ. A successful leader should delegate his duties and responsibilities to his subordinates during his leadership. A person cannot do all tasks by himself. Thus, in order to be successful one must delegate his work to others up to some extent.
Practical intelligence:
            One must have good amount of practical intelligence in order to be successful. If a person has only theoretical knowledge and don’t know how to use it in his day to day life, then that person is less likely to succeed. During SSB Interview, candidates need to show their practical intelligence in almost all tests.
Knowledge:
Knowledge is very vital when it comes to leadership. If you want to lead a group or team of people, you must have good amount of knowledge. When it comes to armed forces officer’s life, the officer must have sound knowledge about various things in order to take best decisions in time to avoid massive loss.
