Management styles are easily effaced during group discussion. There is a lot of chance to prove ones camaraderie and skill at the time of group discussion. There should also be an element to focus group discussion when the group gets carried away and gets into a argumentive combat. This is usually seen a sign of aggressiveness which is much needed in todays corporate world. However the moderator definitely intervenes if the discussion is happening aimless or the participants are taking it to a different plane.
The topics of group discussion need not always be of corporate nature or relating to current affairs. The topics could go on like ‘ Love marriage or Arranged marriage’ Or other sensitive issues like ‘ Should alimony be given’. These are delicate subjects where normally youthful thoughts are filtered and weighed with lot of personal experiences. What comes up here is that, qualities of defending an issue and articulation of a subject is projected for the management to decide upon short listing a candidate.
There could be other topics like, ‘ Is BMC effective in Mumbai’ or ‘ Night schools are a better alternative. Other discussion topics could be. ‘ American cola and the Indian nimbu paani ‘ where one can bring about so much about aping the west, the need for an identity, motherland devotion and also a high level of expression which can lead to the dollar-rupee exchange.
Actually the topic of discussion is a very simple subject, which can be taken at a global level and this is what is expected from the group of candidates. Entrance exams where the candidate is able to score academically through written tests are not always a bar to admission. If the participant is able to express oneself, lot of management qualities are attained. Speaking well publicly is much expected in a office decorum or presentation skills is required for procuring new business or simply putting forth your views to your boss in future.
Leadership qualities are clearly seen when one maneuvers the discussion to a different and more valid agenda. When the idea is met with nods and affirmative expressions the candidate is definitely a winner. Talking about the ‘harmful effects of cloning and genetic disorders’ are touch and go subjects where many of us are not well informed. Moreover the subject is delicate and hence one should use general data. The management is actually seeing as to how quick your responses are and noticing signs of discomfort through facial expressions and body language. If the group discussion on cloning is confusing for you, then allow others to talk and you could take up the part of concluding the same.
Other topics can also be about, ‘Money and values at home’ OR ‘ Healthy and Junk food’. There could be topics on ‘mutli tasking’ , ‘ rural development’ or ‘spiraling real estate’. There could be topics related to ‘Bollywood’ or ‘facts about inflation’. Participation and expressing one self is of utmost importance.
