That's just it, though. A leader should never shoulder that burden alone. Because a team isn't merely one person thinking, and a group of followers.

[She might not have enough for a fire yet, but she can at least start laying out what she does have, so she knows where to gather the rest. The beginnings of something bigger.]

The leader is someone who knows the team, who values their judgment, who ensures their safety as a group... and above all, someone who brings out the best in everyone. And while they will have to make difficult choices, it's only when the rest of the group needs a unifying voice to keep them together.

What do you think? Could you manage that?
