With regards to baruku's example, i would still pick Mr.
A.
Like you said, he's eager to please, to make amends. If he fails,
hey, so what, pat him on the back, mention a "better next time
buddy" and move on.
However, in the event that he does succeed in delivering the goods,
there will be lots of ass-kicking, high-fiving, and much
rejoicing.
In my opinion, the benefits far outweigh the
costs, despite the probabilities of them
occuring.
On the other hand, take Mr. B(astard)... all that negative energy
generated by him may just kill the other 3 guys, does it matter
that he can perform, at the expense of his teammates?
Okay, for argument's sake, say the team wins with Mr. A. Would you
cash in with the prick and lose the opportunity to walk away happy
with someone else? It's like, so mercenary. Bowling shouldn't always be about
winning.
