Woody
“Listen, Lightsnack. You stay away from Andy. He’s mine, and no one is taking him away from me.”
On paper, Woody, from the movie Toy Story, portrays the perfect leader. The other toys look up to him, he’s an engaging speaker, and he cares about who gets left behind. But when his owner Andy introduced a new toy to the group, Woody’s leadership began to falter. Once a brave face for the rest of the toys, Woody became unraveled and panicky in difficult situations. It was obvious to the others that he felt threatened, and eventually, he lost their trust. While Woody has some redeeming moments, he is one character who fell down a few rungs of the leadership ladder.
