roles would suit you best and why?

Of all the listed roles, I think that monitoring union election outcomes would suit my personality best. This role requires a strong sense of ethics and impartiality. Rather than being an advocate for a single candidate this role requires the monitor to ensure that everyone is playing by the rules regardless of his or her position.

I tend to prefer not to be engaged in conflict and when conflict ensues I like to refer to rules and regulations vs. enter the fray of personal bickering. I do not mind engaging in conciliation and compromise but usually I find that retaining a strong sense of the rules and principles of the organization rather than bending them is the best way to ensure a fair result.
