"Bravery"

The leader of Jamestown will be responsible for the lives of settlers in a strange land full of strange new people. The unknown often causes people to have great fear. The colonists will look towards their leader for guidance as they face unforeseen dangers.and scary situations, especially with the native American indians.

"Experience in the New World"

Knowing something of what to expect across the Atlantic would give a leader some confidence. If the leader has already met native American indians, Spanish adventurers, or French explorers during his travels, he may be better equipt to deal with all the different kinds of people in the New World.

"Leadership Experience"

Knowing how and when to inspire people, direct them, and sometimes discipline them is an important quality for all leaders. Also, a good leader will be able to think always about what is best for the whole colony, and solve problems.

"Connections to Court"

Jamestown will be ruled, ultimately, by the English monarchy in London. But because London is so far away, no one there knows what is best for the colony. The leader's influence and experience in the court will benefit the whole colony.
