I think the Crown event in a tight time frame scenario is useful as a way to discover what sort of leadership style you have, because one naturally gravitates to what seems most expedient in such a focused situation and what is comfortable in order to preserve sanity. ;-) Our barony alone contains many effective leaders, all with different styles, and each of those leaders would handle such a situation differently. Some would work only with tried and trusted people, others would put out a massive all-hands call, while others would fall somewhere in between. I think tsuruko_sensei has a good idea: ask your protege, and let her think through that hypothetical process. Talk about it with her. Then ask her again in a year and see what, if anything, has changed in her answer. ;-)
