Lord Of The Flies Leadership Analysis

While William Golding was writing Lord of The Flies, he came up with many theme statements. Some of which were more visible than others, such as good v.s. bad, but it goes way deeper than that. Civilization v.s. savagery, order v.s. chaos, and fear are good themes but I think that power rising over leadership is one main theme. To illustrate this theme the author describes on pages 22 and 23 is the first input of authority and leadership and also power by saying “Him with the shell. ” Ralph! Ralph!” “let him be chief with the trumpet-thing.” Ralph raised his hand for silence. “All right. Who wants Jack for chief?” With dreary obedience the choir raised their hands.” In other word the group is saying that they want Ralph to be chief without knowing how he will lead, or even taking in consideration any others. I think the author was trying to suggest that the choir already follows Jack because he is the leader of the choir and they have to respect his power. Also that Ralph was elected leader with little power. I think Ralph has little power because he had not done anything to gain the groups respect, with little respect comes little power.

A true leader is a person who takes initiative and does what is needed to lead a group of people. If they need to, they will make any sacrifices, take the ability to take control and charge of a group. Ralph displays initiative and leadership in the book, “Lord of the Flies”, by William Golding, by leading the innocent group of kids to survival.

In the novel “Lord of the Flies” there are two kinds of leaders that are being loved or feared which is Ralph and Jack. From a leader’s perspective, the two boys are both infectious and full of authority. However, I cherish the belief that as a leader it is better to be loved than to be feared, and this lead to a further and deeper discussion.

In society, there are often people who acquire strong leadership qualities and understand what it means to be a favorable leader. Other times, there are people who have strong qualities to lead, but they do not understand how to be a favorable leader and create a safe and comfortable environment for those following them. In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the characters of Ralph and Jack arise as two different leaders who bear strong characteristics and they both seek power on the island. The boys become leaders in their own ways, creating individual environments that prioritize different matters, all while trying to work towards their rescue off the island.

Leadership takes notice, responsibility, self-development, and experience. Thoughts pop up when one thinks of a leader, perhaps a captain of a team, the president, maybe even the bigger brother. These people are mostly responsible and developed, they take notice into what is happening in any situation, but the experience is where a leader and a follower have things in common in most situations. Lord of the Flies is a book where children are trapped on a deserted island and have to create their own small world. Jack is one of the chosen leaders in the book, he came with most of the children from the plane crash. They soon meet Ralph, who is another chosen leader throughout the book. So called “leaders” in the book are very important characters

Many people consider themselves a good leader, but that is not always the case. In the book, Lord of the Flies, there are two types of “leaders”. Throughout the story, there is a clash between the two types of leaders. Ralph, the original leader, is overthrown by Jack, a savage tyrant. If Ralph was a better leader, Jack may not have taken over.Some traits of a good leader that Ralph lacks are optimism, confidence, and awareness. Ralph would have been a better leader by keeping the boys busy and focused, being open to new ideas, and enforcing his rules.

The boys chose Ralph as their leader over Jack initially because of the power and strength he shows by holding the conch and using it to bring them all together. The defeat shocks Jack, but pushes him to discover ways to make the children bend to his will. William Golding’s brilliant usage of characterization in Lord of the Flies specifically focuses on Ralph’s start as a systematic yet ineffective leader and Jack’s manipulative leadership which causes their transformation from civilized and innocent boys into savage and malicious degenerates. Before the kids decided on a leader, Ralph proves himself a clear choice by using a conch to call the kids together.

In the Novel, Lord Of The Flies there are two clear leaders of the population of kids on the island, which are Jack Merridew and Ralph. To fully analyze who was the best leader, we need to know what a good leader is. Both Ralph and Jack were leaders and it is arguable to which is the better leader. These leaders represent the kind of leaders that appear in our world because of their wildly different characteristics. In all, these two leaders pursue leadership in completely different ways, but that does not make them bad leaders.

Being a leader is hard work and the boys on the island defiantly need a leader because, so many people decided to not listen to Ralph nor Piggy, all everyone does is fight about little things. At this point in the novel, Ralph is the best choice for leader. For example, “Jack stood up scowling in the gloom, and held out his hands. “But you’ve talked!” “I’ve got the conch.” Jack sat down, grumbling.” (Page 81-82). This example shows that no one listens to the simple rules that Ralph established for the conch and no one can follow them. It’s hard to get everybody to follow rules, it’s hard being a

In the book “Lord of the flies” by William Golding there is a group of boys that have crash landed on this island. But, majority of the boys don’t know each other. When the boys meet they pick a leader by voting and a boy named Ralph was selected. Ralph was one of the nice kids and never mean and treated all the kids fair. When he was selected a boy name Jack was upset because he had thought that he should become leader. “Im chief then” (23). When Ralph said this Jack felt like nobody liked him only the choir boys did but he ended up being the leader of them by being in charge and making them hunters. Jack was a type of leader that did not think much he would think of one idea then go do it he never plans nothing out. But Ralph thinks

A strong society is built through a good-hearted leadership, not through brute force. William Golding’s Lord of the Flies proves this statement true through the individual yet intertwining stories of Jack and Ralph. At some point during their adventure of being stranded without adults, both of these little boys gain a leadership role on the island, having some amount of control over the other boys. On numerous occasions, Ralph demonstrates good qualities that make him a kind and fair leader, and that also initially make him popular with the other boys. Jack is the opposite, seizing his power through force and violent means. Ralph’s good intentions and strong morales show that he is a better leader than Jack.

Soon after the boys have congregated, they decide to pick a chief. There are some boys that seem promising yet “there was a stillness about Ralph… that marked him out…” from the rest. He is elected chief thereafter. Piggy, who conveys intelligence, is a very qualified candidate for a leader. Another candidate, Jack, portrays the ambitions of a leader just without the smarts. Nevertheless, Ralph is the perfect choice, he has enough smarts and is helped by piggy, but he also knows

His leadership manifests in his age, appearance, and disposition. In addition to his leadership ability, Ralph displays positive moral attitudes in his treatment of Piggy and soundness of mind in his emphasis on maintaining the signal fire for rescue. Although the group of boys listens to Ralph in meetings, they do not follow his directives to maintain the signal fire and build shelters. Ralph has superficial leadership in that he can call meetings, but does not hold as much power in terms of real results. Ralph’s inability to cause real action by the group of boys speaks to Golding’s message regarding human nature.

Have ever you thought of a team being successful without following the rule or listen to the leader and the plan? In this story Lord of the Flies the author Golding William use his personal opinion to write the book he thinks that human was naturally savages in which I agree with it. Leadership is really important for a group like in the story to survive because if no one here to lead them they will start going by their own in which it happened during middle of the story He wants to show the importance of team work. If you were in this kind of situation what will you do of course is to survive right? But how you are going to survive if you are standing alone helpless without a team nor a leader? I going to explain a little bit who what the word leadership mean. Leadership is an ability of an individual to lead others peoples or an entire team. I do not believe that a successful team without a leader. Let me prove you how important is leadership.

At the beginning of the novel, Jack is infuriated that Ralph is chosen by the other boys to be Chief, an elected leader of the group. Jack insists he should have been made Chief because he had been leader of the choir boys; he is thus accustomed to authority. Ralph, instead of Jack, gains the
