Plutarch: character is revealed by deeds
A small thing done with nobody watching says more about a person than a battle won.
Character shows in a jest, not in a siege. Plutarch deliberately chose small episodes, because great events only show circumstances: who a person is shows up when nobody is watching.
- Speaking from the stage at the flagship eventWhether they stayed to stack the chairs
- The numbers in the annual reportWhether they answered a first-year who brings the club nothing
- How a person describes themselvesWhether they said 'I got that wrong' when nobody would have found out
- The situation
Two people are standing for the board: one hosted the biggest event of the year, the other spent the year quietly keeping the store in order.
- What the model says
The event shows circumstances — that person was given a stage. The store shows character: nobody was watching there.
- What you do
Before the vote ask three people one question: what did each candidate do when nobody would have found out.
