The different leaderships of “Lord of the Flies” The plane crashes, there are no adults, no people, just you. You find another person and are very relieved. You use a shell to summon the rest of the people to the island. The first thing you find you need to do is build leadership. Choose a leader built on democracy. It starts off well, but then you discover that there is more than one type of leadership on the Island and some of your opinions change. There were many different types of leadership in Lord of the Flies written by William Golding. With Jack, Ralph, and Piggy in mind, this article will show you that there were three major differences in leadership in Lord of the Flies. One type of leadership was Jack's version. His version involves being domineering, stubborn and violent. He's so used to being in charge, to being the popular kid in school, that he doesn't like change that makes him bossy. He tries to control the group more than he tried to help. He even tries to claim himself as leader even though he wasn't voted in and did nothing to help the other people on the island. He likes and tries to help only people who agree with him, his "followers", who are willing to do anything even if it means not leaving the Island. He is also stubborn. Even though everyone agreed that the conch decided who to talk to, he doesn't care about the time because he wants to talk. Even when people tell him to shut up. No matter what the orders or rules are, he doesn't care. Even when everyone agrees that they should do something but he doesn't just because he doesn't want to. Finally, he is a violent leader. Page 94 even states: "... some hunters, pushed Jack to violence..." When people don't follow the rules he wants... middle of paper... he's not afraid to kill and hunt rather than help children to survive and not be afraid. Finally, there is his devotion. on page 88 we see that despite being naked he ran and scraped himself to go and start the fire. Even while dripping blood, the only thing on his mind is to rekindle the fire to send a signal that they are trapped on the Island. “Styles are tailor-made for different situations. Different leaders must have their own styles, and these styles must be able to adapt to different people and situations.” –John Ng. The only problem with the three different types of leadership on the Island is that they are not willing to change to fit the situation they are in, which is why it was so difficult for them to find a leadership style that would work. everyone. Well, as you can now see, there were three main leaders on the Island.
