Trip orientation meetings: Compromise

During trip orientation one of the messages that can be given:
Recognize that you are only one of 27 people and have only 1/27^th of a right to get your own way. If 14 decide something, the other 13 will have to go along or lump it.

• If you lose gracefully we all will have a better time and the others will be more willing to be gracious when you get your way.
  
• As an example: this is too large a group and it is too expensive to try to please everyone on food. While honoring allergies, we have to go with standard, generic meals and everyone will eat what is served or starve.
  
• There will be personality conflicts – learn to live with them. This is a valuable life learning!
