When boys look towards a leader, they look towards a boy who can begin to fulfill Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Ralph begins attempting to meet their physiological needs. He attempts to build shelter and provide them with food. The needs only grow when younger children are frightened by a potential monster in the woods. During his tenure, Ralph is unable to meet these basic needs. This is why the boys start moving towards Jack. Jack is successful in hunting for food and is able to present the image of safety to younger children by telling them about his strength as a hunter and his own. Finally, Jack moves up Maslow's hierarchy of needs while also providing kids with a sense of belonging. When Jack leads, he leads a “tribe”. They feel part of a group. These insights also teach me lessons about leadership. First, as a leader, it is important to meet Maslow's needs. People will not trust you as a leader if their needs are not met. Secondly, it is important for members of a group to feel part of something. While many people crave individuality, this book shows that many individuals would be willing to sacrifice it to fit in with a group and feel a part of something. To do this it is important to make everyone feel important and make people proud of the group they are part of
