"I think it's easy to be among 'the herd', working with people of diverse backgrounds, while also staying true to yourself, and I think you could argue it's an essential skill if you ever want to accomplish something great." Grey man. Say nothing, don't make ripples and don't be noticed. Works well when SHTF and possibly when nothing of any consequence is happening. There is one aspect I don't like with this approach: By sitting back, not being noticed you loose the chance to lead. In LOTF I can think of one person who tried this approach, Simon. When he voiced his opinion on the snake thingy, noting it was in fact a dead airman, he was ignored. By taking the grey man approach you fail to take the chance and opportunity to lead, letting others dictate your situation.
