I have to be honest. I have no idea who this guy is. My guess is he is a special forces guy in the military. My guess is he is part of an elite fighting force. My guess is he has had more training and leadership development than any of us will ever receive.
Given all that, he says there are three things that he looks for in a teammate. 1) Dependability – be where you say you are going to be when you say you are going to be, 2) Skilled – that you are very good at completing the task that you are charged to do, & 3) Selflessness – making sure the needs of others are taken care of before you take care of your own.
And, the one he says is the hardest to do and the most important to do is selflessness. Putting the needs of others before yourself – not once in a while or when it is convenient, but when it matters.
Your Turn: On a scale of 1-10, how selfless are you? How well and how often do you put the needs of your teammates/classmates/friends/family ahead of your own?

6/10 I try to help people out around me but I don’t go out of my way to do so.
6.89/10. I feel like I really strive to be selfless but I am human.
I think I’m a 9/10 in selfless because I will always put someone’s needs before mine. Also I will be willing to help anyone before me and I. Will always do it even if they don’t like me.
I feel like I’m a 7/10 on the selflessness score. The only reason I say 7 is because I will admit that sometimes I do put myself before others. I feel like it’s a little bit of a good thing to sometimes put yourself first though because just like anyone else, I have needs too. I try to balance it out a little bit though because I’m not trying to say that you should always put yourself first, I’m just saying that you should put your needs first sometimes too.
8/10 I feel like there are things you have to selfish. The example was if there was a cookie the last one would I offer the last one cookie to someone.
7 I feel like whenever we go to football practice and we finish the drill and someones still doing it we push them to finish
I would feel a 10 because I would make sure everyone gets what they wanted or what they need first before me and I would make sure that I would put them before me.
I’m an 8/10. I always put others’ physical and mental health before mine. Everyone is held at a higher standard than me. I will help others, than help myself.

I would say im a 6/10 selfless. I think it would depend on my mood if i help someone or not.
I think 6/10. I always try to think of others, but sometimes I forget. I think sometimes I tend to put others first a little bit more than I should put them first.
8/10 I think I can be pretty selfless and I put others before msyelf a lot. I think more of sports of me being selfless. I always make sure other players get more oppurtunities and can seek their goals before myself. When there is left overs at my house I always made sure my parents do not want them.
i would rate myself a seven If one needs something I will give it to them they need help I will help them.
I feel like I’m a 7/10 on the selflessness scale. I say this because I try to put others’ needs before my own most of the time, but I also believe that you should also put your needs first some times.Personally, I think that It’s really good to help others, but if you don’t fulfill your own needs sometimes, how can you help another person with theirs?
