Abstract

In this case study, I share some observations and reflections on the character and personal leadership qualities of Barnabas `Iki`oa Maitaniohu - the chief and priest of Oroha in Small Malaita, Solomon Islands. The case study begins by positioning the providers of information on `Iki`oa within Oroha society. It then provides a description of Oroha and `Iki`oa's position in the `Iora ana Maniasinimae(Maniasinimae Canoe or Maniasinimae tribe) including his educational journey. The case study proceeds to discuss a number of real life leadership scenarios in which the chief demonstrated various leadership principles and the possible lessons we can learn from these.
