Qualities Of A Good Leader In Lord Of The Flies
As a good leader, you must possess intel on why you should be leader and why everyone needs to follow you. No matter what everyone’s belief is about one certain person being a bad leader, all are good leaders due to people following them. They wouldn’t be leaders if they didn't have followers supporting them. Here are some important characteristics leaders should have and utilize.
First characteristic I will talk about is determination. Now, determination is a firm of purpose or type of willpower. In this book, Ralph, develops that trait that makes him a remarkable leader. Without his leadership or with anyone’s, they would not survive on the island. Sometimes, Ralph usually is first to step up in a situation. An example of showing this is …show more content…
when by the beginning of the book, Ralph was chosen to be the leader and he stepped up to take control. Now, another good leader trait would be having good communication skills.
Communication skills are a very important part when it comes to leading people.
You would need to have this type of trait in order to talk or give a speech to their followers on what they are going to do. This can help share information anywhere you’d want it to be. One example of this is when Jack tries to lead his own group as he tells them they will hunt and gather food for a feast.
An obvious trait is to have confidence in yourself. Leaders should have a clear vision, showing empathy and be a strong leader. A quote from this novel shows Ralph having this trait. “Seems to me we ought to have a chief to decide things.” This means that Ralph considers having a leader of people in order for all to survive. There for, every good leader does possess this trait. Focus can be another important characteristic. Sometimes, leadership is making important but unpopular decisions. In minor things, a good leader does not major it. In order to get things done, a leader develops incredible selective ignorance. Another important part to this is to be less distracted than your competition.
Last characteristic is passion. Most leaders in the world right now have this trait. Leaders will always try and push themselves to do something “bigger” and “better.” Some lead this by example because it is their way of life. It should consume you and probably obsess a little over
it.
Overall, leaders wouldn’t be leaders if they didn’t have followers. They should always have a reason to lead and have great traits in order for people to listen to you. All leaders are in their own way, but people will either hate or like their ideas. So in the end, characteristics can change the way people see in a leader.
