All people are basically has the nature of a leader. Leadership can be developed based on the social interaction, family and their self. Leadership is
a way to organize and give right order to the members in order to achieve the goal. Leadership is both a research area and a practical skill, regarding the
ability of an individual or organization to “lead” or guide other individuals, team, or entire organizations. Controversial viewpoint are present in the
literature, among eastern and western. Approaches to leadership and also within the West, on US vs. European approaches. In US academic
environments leadership is divined as “a process of social influence in which a
person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common
task’ ’A review of the leadership literature reveals an evolving series of “schools of thought” from “Great Man” and “Trait” theories to
“Transformational” leadership. Whilst early theories tend to focus upon the characteristics and behavior of successful leaders, later theories begin to
consider the role of followers and contextual of leadership. Bolder,R and Gosling, A Review of Leadership Theory and Competence, 2003:6.

sometime in battle school, strength and courage. In the future, the world has been twice attacked by aliens called
Buggers, and humanity almost perished. To prepare for the next battle, the world unites around the cause of collecting and training military geniuses from
early childhood. their one goal in life is to be the leaders of the army that defends Earth from the Third Invasion. Ender is one of those children.
Andrew Wiggins very birth was government-mandated - most families are allowed only two children, but the government requisitioned his birth. After a
short six years of torment from his genius older brother Peter, and love from his genius older sister Valentine, Ender is recruited into the army after passing
tests, and quickly rises to the top of the talent pool. Loved or hated by other students at Battle School, Ender is isolated by excellence in the games that the
students play, and by the teachers treatment of his excellence. The adults do not give him the chance to settle in and find a peer group - they push him with
such urgency that they are willing to break the entire Battle School system down. Card: 1985, 19
Battle School consists of games - there is a Fantasy Game, a game room like an arcade, and the battle room, where war games are played in
zero gravity. The battle room plays a central role in Battle School, and students often get so caught up in the game that they seldom realize that
theyre at the school to defeat the Buggers. One such student, Bonzo Madrid,
comes to hate Ender, and Bonzo plans to kill him. Enders excellence shines through in battle after battle, despite being given a green army and the most
intense schedule ever given an army. Bonzos rage turns murderous, and they fight in the showers. Once again, Enders penchant for breaking the rules to
win, and win completely, leads him to kill Bonzo in self-defense. Enders only respite in life is the thought of Valentine, his compassionate older sister, who
defended Ender against the vicious Peter. However, on Earth, Valentine and Peter are now working together to use their collective genius and drive world
affairs. Peter does this with the dream of world domination in mind, and Valentine does this reluctantly, as more of a game that she can play to keep
her excellent mind busy. As Locke and Demosthenes, respectively, Peter and Valentine quickly become influential, despite being barely pubescent.Card:

promoted and leave his few trusted friends, Petra, Dink, Alai, and Bean, behind. He goes to Command School and finds only more games waiting for
him. These games are intensely strategic, and Ender once again masters them. He also discovers that the Third Invasion is not Buggers attacking humans,
but vice versa.Card: 1985, 19 At this point, he meets Mazer Rackham, hero from the previous war,
and trains under Mazer. Ender is reunited - albeit over a headset - with his friends, who serve as some of his squadron leaders. They train together and
enter the most intense training scenario of their lives-an invasion scenario run
by Mazer. The scenario strains all of them, ender most of all, who is nearly driven insane. At the final test, Ender faces the biggest lopsided scenario of all
and decides to cheat, to give up. In so doing, he actually destroys the simulated enemy, which turns out to be the real enemy all along - the Buggers.
