Our Question:
“What qualities make an effective leader?”
We chose this topic because we thought it might come up in the future in our workplaces.
We also thought researching this topic will help us recognize good leaders surrounding us.
Some Other Relevant Questions Are.. Why do leaders need the ability to
communicate well? Does gender matter when leading groups? Should leaders be feared or liked? Does a leader really need to be organized? Who are good leaders?
Their Eyes Were Watching God Was written by
Zora Neale Hurston in 1937 is about a character named Janie. We focused on this main character
because she had the most effective
leadership qualities.
Was Janie an Effective Leader? Yes, because…
She didn’t let the gossip of the other women get to her
She didn’t let her husband’s hurtful words affect her
She stood up for herself against Tea Cake No, because…
She made impulsive decisions without thinking them through
She let her husbands over-power her
Things Fall Apart Was written by
Chinua Achebe in 1958 and the main character is Okonkwo. We chose to analyze Okonkwo because we thought he was the best leader in the book.
Was Okonkwo an Effective Leader? Yes, because…
He was a very confident man He was self-critical when it came to his emotion He was respected
No, because… He used physical force more than necessary He never showed compassion He got over-thrown by the missionaries
What Do You Think?
Do you think Janie and Okonkwo had effective leadership skills? If yes, then tell us why and what they were. If no, then tell us why and explain. Which has more effective leadership qualities?
