What would you do?

[Scythe13]

Beautiful question!!!

First and foremost I would bring motivation and hope to whomsoever I was in a group with. I would encourage people and lift their spirits. Build a more positive attitude to the group. We wouldn't be singing Kumbyaa, but we would be motivated to getting to a reasonable living standard.

Secondly, I would provide knowledge of my skills. I'm always told I'm a good teacher, whether it's BJJ to a policeman, English to a Chinese friend, or fire starting with my wife. I love to teach and see people develop.

Thirdly, I hope I'd provide moral guidance and a point of referrence to team members. Standards of respect and moral standings are important, whether in WROL or ROL!

Fourthly, I'd offer myself up to any and all tasks that I could perform properly. If there's someone better than me at building a shelter, then I'd let them do it. As SD says, we are all Alpha personalities, but for me, being who I am includes knowing my limits and allowing other people to do things too. I wouldn't make life a dictatorship...unless it was temporary, as a way to get through a life and death situation. If there's someone else bstter at the job, may they do it. If a job needs doing, I'll give it my all!
