% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
It’s difficult to be all
things at one time. Although many of us have probably done a wide variety of
tasks in our lifetimes, we may still lack necessary skills in many areas. A
lack of skills in different areas can affect our survival. This is where
diversity in numbers comes into play.

lack of skills in different areas can affect our survival. This is where
diversity in numbers comes into play.
When you have numerous
people in your group, the chances of someone having the required skills for
your survival will be much greater. While being a “jack of all trades” is a
plus, sometimes a little more expertise is required to get the job done. The
odds are greatly in your favor of having a wide variety of skill sets in a
group. This effect is magnified if you have a large group.

It is up to the leader of
your group to be aware of the skills each member has in your group. This will
enable you to play to the strengths of your group. You may have someone with
medical knowledge and skills. It may be mechanic or carpentry skills that stand
out among certain members of your group. The chances for your survival will be
increased by the types of skill sets that are in your group. The chances for
everyone’s survival will be enhanced when you have numerous skill sets in your
group.

There will be those times
when an experienced person will be needed to accomplish a task. Knowing the
abilities of the members in your group is just as important as having an
inventory of food and supplies. These members can then be assigned to the more
difficult tasks that may require a higher level of expertise and experience.
These persons can also be used to teach others and further increase the skills
and knowledge of your group. Don’t discount the ability of the members of your
group to learn new skills.

Don’t fail to recognize that
the “jack of all trades” makes an excellent helper for those with more advanced
skills. They usually grasp new concepts easily and will work diligently to
achieve their assigned tasks. They will also usually require less basic
instruction to accomplish the goals of your group.

Always include the younger
members of your group as well. Young people can absorb knowledge like a sponge
collects water. There level of enthusiasm is usually way beyond normal and they
will take pride in being included in the efforts of your group. While they may
not be capable of certain physical tasks, older members can also provide a
wealth of information from their past experience to assist in the efforts of
your group.

Utilizing the diversity of
skills in your group will ultimately make the efforts of your group more
successful. The success of your group will ultimately require you to take
advantage of this fact and this will increase the overall chances for your
survival.
