The angle I'm coming from is, I find that I need time to process the task, to get my head around the best way to do it. In the meantime, some of the guys have jumped in and started to construct something and are all over it. The issue is that cadre, watching and observing, may perceive the leader to not be in control and to not be leading but rather being lead? Which may negatively impact one's grading as a leader?
What advice do you guys have in this matter?

Aussie:
No offense, but we don't get into details about our selection process on this forum.
The course is designed to have a few surprises, and each candidate has to find his own path.
Giving guys too much intel ahead of time leads to a loss of fidelity when evaluating their performance and deciding if they are what we are looking for.
Thanks for asking.
All the best.
