Re: Get angry at a member
As team president and a member of the drive team I believe I have faced several stressful situations--most recently when a team member attempted to bend our arm a few degrees and ended up shearing several rivets (leverage is a powerful thing). At this point there was nothing getting angry would do--instead I got a drill rivet gun and started repairs. One of the most valuable things to have in a competition is a level head. Even if you are angry at that member keep it to yourself and focus on the larger issues at hand. Screaming at someone is far less likely to solve your problems. Also I firmly believe that everyone will screw up at some point your team member simply happened to do so at an unfortunate time. Do you want people to attack you for your mistakes?
