Topic > Leadership and Denial in William's Lord of the Flies...

According to Peter Drucker, he states: “Effective leadership is not about giving speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results, not attributes.” Leadership is a commitment that must be maintained and carried out accurately. Leading a group or company can lead to terrible obstacles, but it is your responsibility to find a solution to put an end to this situation. Ralph and Jack as leaders cause most of the descents for the boys. They affect themselves and their surroundings until they suddenly fall to pieces. Which will lead to the mass destruction of the island, Lord of the Flies. The devastating events on this island lead to massive chaos in Lord of the Flies, blaming Ralph and Jack for rejection, lack of cooperation, and ineffective leadership. For example, Ralph and Jack's rejection leads the boys to make decisions that have wreaked havoc on their society on this island. Like them; Ralph, Jack and the boys have absorbed the island, but at the same time they have lost hope. For example, Simon tells Ralph, “You will go back to where you came from” (111). Ralph tries to tell the boys that they will be saved. But as the days go by and how long they have been on the island is not determined. Jack, on the other hand, doesn't believe he will ever be saved. He tells the boys that it is hopeless of them to think they can leave the island. Furthermore, not only did they deny that they were saved, but Ralph and Jack do not acknowledge the deaths of Simon and Piggy. For example, as stated in the book. “The breaking of the shell and the death of Piggy and Simon spread over the island like a vapor” (184). However, Ralph acknowledges Simon and Piggy's death a little, but later forgot about it because Jack and his tribe are willing to chase him. As for Jack, he was careless about the… middle of paper…, Piggy stated, “Which is better: to have rules and come to an agreement, or to hunt and kill” (180)? This assembly call is ineffective, because Ralph and Jack could be leaders for a different purpose. However, this shows that both Ralph and Jack are not doing what they were positioned to do, if one were to ask who is a better leader. Ultimately, due to Ralph and Jack's abilities to be a leader, this led to a failure in society. According to Drucker, leadership should not be careless, but solemnly assumed. Being a leader is difficult; you face many challenges as you navigate your way to success. That said, leadership depends on integrity and can result in success or failure. Finally, facing society with major conflicts can trigger anger and stress, but if you do not listen to the voices of your group or are not united, this ends the end of society..
