did not hold the boys
    accountable for their mistakes and lack of effort throughout the novel.
    Whenconvincesto leave their post by the signal fire to hunt, which results in the fire going
    out,  there are no consequences for their actions. Ralph simply addresses the issue to Jack and
    raises his voice, while Samneric sit by idly and watch. Ralph does not punish the
    boys for their drastic mistake, which makes them feel like they can get away with
    whatever they want. Also, Ralph does not use positive reinforcement to motivate
    the boys to complete tasks. Rather than give commands and expect the boys to
    follow them blindly, Ralph should have given the boys incentives to built the huts, kill pigs,
    and maintain the signal fire. Instead, Ralph allowed the boys to go swimming and eat fruit
    before their tasks were complete. If Ralph had set up a system where the boys would be rewarded
    for completing tasks and punished for lack of effort, he would have been a successful
    leader.
