Leadership, Thursday, Period 1, Class 11 (11/20/08)

"We've discussed how we can't make everyone happy," Nathan said. "Now let's discuss one of the reasons why. As leaders sometimes it is impossible for us to help everyone. We may want to, but we may lack the manpower, funds, or ability. We do the best we can, but that's just it: the best we can. Not the best there is.

"It's therefore necessary to prepare yourself for this. This is where your foundation of goals and values comes in. It will help you figure out what to do when none of the options available to you are pleasant ones."

Nathan handed out the class exercise. "Break up into your groups and talk about how you would handle this situation. There are no right or wrong answers, but there is no option where you can wave a wand and make everything okay.

"Here are your groups:

Group 1:
Andros
Tony Foster
Ben Skywalker
Agnes Nitt
Meg Powers

Group 2:
Jaina Solo
Lucas Scott
Teddy Altman
Momoko Akatsutsumi
Tabitha-Ruth Wexler

Group 3:
Andrew Wiggin
Dor
Hinata Hyuuga
Summer Roberts
Teyla Emmagan

Group 4:
Alex Drake
Bender
Evey Hammond
Joan Girardi

"I'm here if you have any questions," Nathan said.

"Um... Just so we're all on the same page, here," Agnes interjected a little timidly, "what exactly IS this 'radiation' stuff? I mean, I get that it's poisonous..."

"It poisons everything," Ben said. "The air, the water, the ground, and it lasts for a long, long time."

"Oh." Agnes bit her lip, thinking some more. "I still agree with Tony, though," she decided. "No one's dying on my watch. Maybe we wait a few days and send a volunteer out to look for supplies?"

"And expose us all to radiation when we open the door?" Ben replied, arching up an eyebrow.

"Were we going to open the door to throw people out?" Tony wondered.

Ben was a cold-blooded little bastard when he had to be.

"Wouldn't we need the additional food?"

Re: Group 1

Tony stared at him. "No cannibalism!"

Ben shrugged. "If you insist."

Someone had spent entirely too much time around his creepy cousin Jacen.

Re: Group 1

"I do insist!" Tony mentally created a list of People Not To Get Stuck In A Bomb Shelter With and put Ben at the top.
