Lord Of Flies
...gives sense of security to the boys as a leader. Subsequently Jack attempts to satisfy the physiological and belongingness needs of the boys by recruiting members for his tribe. He makes hunting and savagery look attractive by inviting them to hunt and feast and have fun (140). In this speech to the boys during the feast, he promises to protect them from the beast and to give them food (123). Jack once again appeals to the boy’s sense of fear by promising protection through death of the beastie and pig. Jack entirely takes benefit of the needs hierarchy. He realizes that if people’s physiological need is unsatisfied, then they will be motivated to satisfy it. He realizes that the lowest level unsatisfied need has the greatest motivating potential. For instance he satisfies the physiological needs by providing them food water and shelter, he provides them security by his primitive nature, and belongingness by creating a tribe for the boys. The other leader Ralph believes in leading with a democratic style, which gives people freedom of opinion, as well as equality to all group members. He believes that if everyone contributes by taking on one of the roles for survival, the entire group will benefit and hopefully be saved. Ralph uses logical solutions to problems that the group is faced with such as his ideas for building huts on the beach to give the “littleuns” a sense of security as they were having nightmares about monsters on the island. The form of city Ralph was trying to form was a learning organization. He was doing this by considering everybody in his city to be a learner, for instance he told Piggy to teach the other boys how to make a fire or build the shelters. Ralph would also try to preach his ideas through informal means. He would use a conch that would remind the boys of a school bell or a teacher's whistle during the tribal meeting. He also realized that for his group to be a learning organization they needed to invest in the future of the children. For instance when one of littluns approaches the assembly to say something and was laughed at, Ralph tries to persuade him to regain his self-confidence and speak his mind (Pg 35). He also tried to maintain a civilized society on the island by maintaining law and order. He would do this by constantly making reasonable rules for the boys to follow. “And another thing. We can’t have everybody talking at once. We’ll have to have ‘Hands up’ like at school. Then I’ll give him the conch. He can hold it when he’s speaking” (Pg 33). According to the Goal-Setting theory goals are motivational because they direct people’s effort and energies and lead to the development of strategies to help them reach their goals. For the goals to be motivational they need to be challenging, specific, accompanied by feedback, and the people must be committed to them. The Goal-Setting theory relates to the novel when Ralph’s leadership brings the boys together by giving them a common goal to survive. By giving the boys a common goal they respected one other and had a sense of togetherness to complete their goal to survive. Also this common goal bought peace and happiness for a little while on the island. Trust is the bases of leadership, without trust there is no team to survive. When Ralph trusted the littleuns to work without his guidance, he put faith in them that they will work for their Goal-Setting theory to survive. A Need Analysis is a process designed to identify gaps or deficiencies in employee and organizational performance. A need analysis Process starts with an itch or a problem. If the performance problem is important, stakeholders are consulted and a need analysis is conducted. In the book Lord of the Flies a leadership lesson that was linked to the need analysis process was when Ralph as a leader decided shelter should be constructed to protect them from the weather. Ralph appointed the children to build huts, but after a while a child or two would wander off and maybe swim i...
