Someone who doesn’t “need” it. People who are fulfilled and doing well in their lives are more likely to thrive in and contribute to community. Someone with a healthy sense of self. People with emotional maturity and self-esteem, who know what they want and know their strengths and weaknesses, and who are seeking personal growth for themselves, tend to do well in community.Someone who is open to and able to hear other points of view. The aggressive, competent business executive or entrepreneur who instinctively knows best and makes decisions quickly tends to feel frustrated and impatient in community until he or she becomes comfortable with cooperative decision making. Then such a person can thrive in community and contribute a great deal. Someone with a sense of connection to people and an interest in the well-being of others.Obviously a socially confident person who likes people will enjoy community, but people who are shy or natural loners can have difficulty at first. They can be insensitive to other people’s needs and have no idea what’s expected of them. But with enough “high willingness,” such people can use community as a learning opportunity and become fully contributing members. Someone willing to abide by group agreements. Some people fiercely guard their autonomy, find the idea of interdependence with others unsettling, and tend to bristle when asked to do follow rules or perform a task. Again, with enough “high willingness,” such people can move from “I” consciousness to “we” consciousness without losing their sense of self. It feels good to be interdependent with others; however, for some people it takes a certain amount of self-confidence and trust even to try it. Someone willing to speak up.People who are willing to take the initiative, say so when they disagree with others, and ask for what they want, tend to do well. Someone willing to be quiet and listen. People who always know what’s best, or who are dynamic, assertive, and full of ideas, may need to tone down that energy somewhat in group meetings in order to give others the space to speak.
