Communication in SSB: Clarity and Listening

Effective communication includes understanding, concise expression and adapting to the person and situation.

Turn the idea into development

Practise summarising another person’s view before explaining your own. Clarity is more valuable than volume. OLQs are a public framework for officer development, not a confidential scoring formula. Use them to reflect on behaviour and choices rather than to label yourself or perform a quality on demand.

Continue with the OLQ hub, read the SSB selection overview, or discuss individual preparation.
