Architect (Henry Fonda)
Trait Theory ⇨ Good interpersonal skills: Able to communicate and persuade others without resort to negative or coercive tactics. ⇨ Henry has the ability to influence others very much, and hence at last he had converted the rigid decisions of all others in his favor. As a leader, he was one who wants to discuss the whole matter in detail very rationally before taking any decision. He was very sharp with his mind and hence used his intelligence as power to influence, manipulate, negotiate and dominate others. He can be considered as ‘the initiator’ of the whole discussion otherwise others have already (in beginning of the discussion) decided that the boy was guilty which was highly influenced from their own personal prejudices, stereotyping
