Lord Of The Flies Ralph Leadership

German journalist John Zenger once stated, “Great leaders are not defined by the absence of weakness, but rather by the presence of clear strengths”. When one is forced into a situation where a leader is necessary, a person that displays the fundamental attributes will successfully guide the society. Throughout the novel Lord of the Flies, the boys on the island represent various aspects of leadership, characterized by differing strengths. However, the protagonist’s, Ralph, leadership undoubtedly triumph over the other boys because his attributes allow him to be a powerful leader on the island. Throughout William Golding’s novel, he clearly depicts Ralph as an effective leader through his desire for the survival of all of the boys, his adamant

A leader must possess leadership skills, whether good or evil. In Lord of the Flies, Ralph possesses three good leadership skills. Three leadership skills a leader needs to have is responsibility, determination, and initiative.

When Jack slaps Piggy and purposely breaks his glasses, Ralph calls it "A dirty trick." (p. 76) This shows Jack's selfishness and his failure to respect other people, while at the same time Ralph's concern is understand others. Ralph manages to treat each boy equally with his own form of control while Jack treats the boys, especially Piggy lower. After hunting, the group sits down to eat and Jack gives everyone a share except for Piggy. When Piggy asks for some, Jack says, "You didn't hunt." (p. 78) Neither Ralph or many of the littluns hunted but they still got their portion of meat. This was only being directed to Piggy. Jack's behavior towards Piggy shows that he is unable to understand other people. A good leader would have taken care of all his/her group. Ralph understands that he must treat everyone equal or he will not be respected and is a better leader than Jack because of this knowledge.

The existence of mankind on earth relies on various factors. The basic needs for us humans to survive are food, water, shelter etc. These though, are only the physical needs of man. Humans also have social and mental needs. These needs require us humans to have law and order to be able to coexist peacefully with ourselves, nature and the environment. The only way that law and order can be achieved in human society is by a higher authority, or some form of government and/or leader. William Golding tries to touch on some of these aspects of our civilization through the various characters he creates in his novel, Lord of the Flies. Leadership plays a very important role in the novel as it does in real life for us, because the characters need

“Many leaders are competent, but few leaders qualify as remarkable” (Economy). In William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies, a group of boys are stranded on an island as a result of a plane crash. A struggle for leadership quickly ensues between Ralph the protagonist and Jack the antagonist. From the start, Ralph emerges as leader and gets elected, edging Jack out of his position. Ralph’s focus, his ability to think, and his selflessness allows him to effectively lead the boys while they are stranded.

Piggy is not self-confidant, which wouldn’t make him a good leader. Simon doesn’t want to be a leader and Jack doesn’t get elected as the leader. Ralph demonstrates better human traits by working towards the boy’s benefits. Ralph keeps his focus

What makes up a leader? In the book Lord of the Flies, whose author is William Golding, this question wasn’t well thought through before a leader was chosen. Though the main characters are only little kids, they had a challenging choice they had to make; they had not the slightest idea that the choice that they would make might amount to some of them losing their lives. In the Lord of the Flies, a group of boys from an all-boys school, crash-landed on an inhabited island. Upon arriving on the island, they had to choose who would be chief. Mostly everybody chose the same kid as a chief. Though, only a handful of boys, the choir boys were loyal to their choir leader, Jack, voted him as chief. Yet the result was the same, Ralph was chief. The reason behind why the kids nominated Ralph chief was because he looked more appealing than jack and he seemed to know what to do. Like for instance, the kids were bewildered when they saw that Ralph had the conch in his hands and that he was not the “man with a trumpet.” Then they realized that Ralph was “the man with the trumpet” and perceived that he would make a fine leader. I say overall: his honesty, his ability to

Aspects of an Effective Leader Many individuals have the opinion that being a leader is an easy role, however; it is a challenging position. A young boy named Ralph had been put through multiple difficult situations as he was self taught on how to be capable of taking care of himself regarding many other young boys who had all been stranded on an island as well. In Lord of the Flies, William Golding presents how Ralph learns about responsibility, leadership and being liberal.

When it comes to being a good leader, there are more things that go into it than one might think. Ralph and Jack, from William Goldng’s, Lord of the Flies, compare and contrast these qualities that one would need to be a great leader. Ralph and Jack, along with other boys, have been stranded on an island due to their plane crashing, There are no grown ups on the island, leaving the boys with a conundrum of a situation, and Ralph and Jack seem to be the only two boys to run for the position of leadership. It is seen that the boys like Raph more because of how he holds himself, and he is viewed as the “cooler” of the two, as he is the one who brought all the boys together in the first place using a conch shell. Jack is discerned more in a militaristic

In the novel, Ralph’s followers did not respect his ability due to inability to follow through with his directions. He lacked initiative and execution, both qualities necessary for an effective leader. Moreover, Jack and Ralph are not the only leading figures. Piggy, the finest leader in the book, embodies the idea of the leader yearned for by every society. Piggy represents the innocence of good intentions; he was a leader concerned with the welfare of the inhabitants of the island, as well as their prosperity.

When the plane first crashes on the island Ralph is with Piggy. His leadership is shown from the start. Ralph's capability for leadership is evident from the beginning. He is the only elected leader of the boys. During the crisis

The boys on the island in Lord of the Flies had two different leaders over the course of their time spent on the island, Ralph and Jack. Both of the twelve year old boys had some considerable leadership qualities but also made some bad choices during their time as leader. Ralph was a nice person who was favored over Jack in the beginning. Jack was awful person, but could lead a group of boys better than anyone on the island. He was able to get respect from all the boys at one point in the book. You can be a terrible person, but become a wonderful leader based on the way you lead.

No matter arguments to the alternative, Ralph is the true leader of this island. The reason that Ralph is the leader is because he shows more prominent leadership qualities. Ralph understands and has empathy for his group. He defends Piggy throughout the book on multiple occasions.

Who showed the most effective leadership qualities in the novel and are there any leaders today who exemplifies these qualities. Also, what qualities you must show, so you can be the best leader. The book Lord of the Flies, I feel like Ralph was a bet leader than Jack was he should a better understanding of being a leader. In today’s society, there are many leaders that influence or show great leadership qualities, and I picked Pope Francis. He is the Pope/Leader of the Roman Catholic in Italy, Vatican City. Last thing what qualities do they show, so you can be a great leader and people can get the same idea to be a great leader.

A good leader needs to have many particular characteristics. Some of these are obvious, such as that they care about what you are doing and always puts you before themselves. Also another trait of a good leader is that they always keep promises they make. Some of the subtle attributes of a good leader are that they do not hide behind bad news. Moreover, they are easy people to talk to and they have a good if not excellent sense of humor.
