5. THE RATIONAL CONTRIBUTOR
The Rational Contributor can put their agendas aside and view the issues
in the community objectively, even when doing so doesn't benefit them
personally, all in the name of the community's well-being. It's easy to
see why this person is the hardest to find. If you identify any rational
contributors among your neighbors, it's in your best interest to recruit
them to serve on the board. That way, you'll know the decisions made in
your neighborhood will be well-planned, well-researched, and in the best
interest of everyone.
The truth is, anyone can be one or more of these people—sometimes
during the same meeting. No matter which of the five types you identify
with, the most important thing you can do is take an active interest in the
governance of your community.
