Air Crash Exercise

Captain Ali is the pilot of the crashed aero plane. He has managed to retrieve some maps before the aircraft exploded. He is old and takes his duties very seriously. He feels that as captain of the plane, the survivors are his responsibility and should listen to him. He hopes that his SOS was heard and wants everyone to remain near the aircraft wreckage till a rescue team arrives. Miss Moses is 22 years old, a botanist who has studied the flora of that part of Africa. She is a gentle person not comfortable with the friction being generated and a bit of a pacifist. She has managed to retrieve a first - aid kit and some tarpaulin from the aircraft. She has been a girl guide at the school. Raj Kumar comes from an aristocratic family. He is 35 years old and has kept himself very fit by playing polo. He has captained his polo team to many victories. He was going to a place in Africa on a fishing trip and has managed to save his rods and fishing tackle from the flames. He is very sociable. He believes that leaders are born and assumes that others will listen to him. He would like the group to march on to the nearest village under his guidance. Samuel Johnson is 48 years old, a bit stout and likes food and drink. He has managed to retrieve his bottle of brandy, cigars and lighter from the aircraft. He is self-made businessman who has managed to gradually develop a vast business empire. He is humorous, but can also be very tough. Being used to commanding and coordinating, he also tried to get the group listen to him. Mohinder Sing is a hunter by profession and has been asked by the local Govt. to track down a rouge elephant that was destroying crops. He is 28 years old, generally quiet but capable of losing his temper violently. He has managed to retrieve his rifle and some cartridges and wants the group to head for civilization. Whom would you choose as a leader? Why?
