Characteristics Of Leadership In Ender's Game And The Lady Or The Tiger

Ender is using his old experiences to teach his army, which shows him intelligent. When he was practicing alone or sometimes with Petra, he learned many moves and tricks, and now when he is a commander he can use those experiences to teach his army how to play better. Ender is being smart. He is been learning from other people and when he has his army he can use those tricks, so they can be better soldiers. He is making his army strong enough, and that shows that Ender is being smart. However, Ender never knows why he has been isolated and manipulated by Graff. For example, Ender thought that if you are a leader/commander you should isolate or manipulate only one person in your army, just because they are smart. One day Ender was talking to Bean and said, “Graff had isolated me to make me struggle, to make me prove, not that I was competent, but that I am for better than everyone else. That’s what I am doing to you, Bean. I am hurting you to make you a batter soldier in every way.” (167). Ender thought that what all commanders do. They always push one soldier, so they can make him/her a good commander in future. As he is doing to Bean. Ender never knows why Graff had isolated and manipulated him. These are some reasons that makes Ender a blended character in the novel Ender’s

In Ender’s Game, the constrained amount of freedom is evident right at the beginning of the novel when the International Fleet places Ender in Battle School. Not only was Ender overwhelmed with numerous laws and rules, but he was frequently supervised. Ender’s frustration in the lack of freedom he receives can be shown when Card says, “Now he knew what he hated so much. He had no control over his own life. They ran everything. They made all the choices. Only the game was left to him, that was all, everything else was them and their rules and plans and lessons and programs, and all he could do was go this way or that way in battle” (Card 117). This quote demonstrates Ender’s predicament at Battle School. Many times in the novel, the International Fleet reminds Ender that he is the ‘best soldier’ there; however, he is still soldier doing what someone else wants him to do. As a result, the commanders praise Ender as he is described as the “best in this launch” (Card 26); however, by giving him a high status, in reality this is an illusion as he lacks autonomy and the title is meaningless. Also, Card uses the game Ender plays in Battle School as an image to show the lack of freedom he has. By stating how the only thing Ender has left is the game and that “all he could do was go this way or that way,” Card gives the impression that the only aspect in life Ender has a little freedom in, is still confined by rules that it is meaningless. Additionally, the constrained amount of freedom in Ender’s Game is present not only for Ender, but for everyone. This can be displayed when Valentine (Ender’s sister) claims that, “Welcome to the human race. Nobody controls his own life, Ender. The best you can do is choose to be controlled by good people, by people who love you” (Card 241). Valentine talks about the theme of

Those who show good leadership share qualities such as strong integrity, consideration of others, and the ability to lead by example. A good leader will know what’s wrong and what’s right. When leading others, they choose the option that is morally acceptable. A good leader has been taught what is right and wrong and doesn’t choose to do what’s wrong when leading others. A good leader thinks of others when making their decisions. They consider what will be best for the group when

In this battle against Rabbit Army, he was able to defeat them in just three minutes. In fact, since most other armies have the same core fighting style of Rabbit, Ender is able to beat almost any team. Even before any battle, however, Ender was already devising how to divide his teams, a major aspect of being a commander, and he is able to do it successfully, showing to readers (and Major Anderson, for that matter) that Ender has all the markings of a good commander. More specifically, Ender is a good strategist by being able to “think outside the

Despite the negativity behind Ender’s thoughts, he is a strong leader because “his isolation can’t be broken. He can never come to believe that anybody will ever help him out, ever”(Chapter 5, page 38). Being in isolation from others has made him an independent person. He is able to overcome any obstacles on his own, like a strong leader,

In the novel of Ender’s Game, Orson Scott Card defines the role of control as interacting with “enemies”. Ender demonstrated his strength upon his enemies enough to prevent future battles with them. In the beginning of the novel, Stilson and his gang waited until Ender was alone after class. A fight was expected. During their fight, Ender uses special combat tactics to release his armageddon on him. With the show of his strength, he prevents Stilson' Penis from prevailing future battles. During the development of Ender’s strategy, he thinks to himself,” I have to win this now, and for all time, or I’ll fight it everyday and it will get worse and worse” (Card 37). Ender fears if he does not show Stilson his strength, then Stilson will continuously

Ender has struggled to find his identity several times throughout the story. For example, “I can’t beat them, “ Ender said softly. “I’ll be out there like Mazer Rackham one day, and everybody will be depending on me, and I won’t be able to do it” (p. 241). Ender shows how he starts to doubt both his skills and capabilities as a leader. He feels unfit for the job despite his results in battle school and in Eros with Mazer

Ender short signs of leadership even though he got smacked by the leader of the green snakes. Ender then unfairly gets to become the leader of a group that was cruse to never win a battle. It is called the Dragon army and the members that he gets are new (launches) at the school and we get six were veterans. Ender had to trained his soldiers to think for themselves, to really think outside of the box, and once his to come up with ideas they can share them to the commander. With the strategy they could win constantly in the battles because, they get to have more brain

The author of Ender's game Orson Scott Card has ender go through a lot of situations that put ender to the test to see if he is worthy of being a leader. Ender is a great leader and also great at making overall decisions with his actions The first reason ender is a good leader is because he works really well with people. First off Ender helps Shen not get bullied, A good leader should care about the relationship between his/her troops, ender stops Shen's bully by hacking into the computer system and logging

After finishing the book and getting to Know Ender you see him show a lot of compassion. It is what makes him play the games so well, and be such a good leader. Without it, he would be just like all the other kids, and commanders. He thinks about other people, thinks about good strategies to beat them, while everyone

Authority shouldn’t be manipulated, and Ender is more powerful because he doesn’t manipulate the control he is given. Then, the part of Ender that has empathy becomes an internal conflict he faces, the part of him that loves his enemy well enough to kill him.

Ender has created new and effective battle strategies which have allowed him to win limitless games. As time progresses, all of the enemy teams that Ender faces slowly began to adapt to Ender’s strategies. Despite all this, Ender does seem to worry. Instead, “Ender persuaded himself to accept them as another form of praise. Already the other armies were beginning to imitate Ender. Now most soldiers attacked with their knees tucked under them.” (187) This quotation shows that his strategies and tactics are very effective and assisted many people in their victory during the team battles. It also shows Enders ability to create new tactics that benefit him and his teammates, and how the others are incompetent compared to Ender since they are not clever enough to come up with an effective strategy to win. Another example that shows Ender has gained an insurmountable amount of respect is when Ender was in the Battle room training and he “watched the young kids in Petra’s army, fresh out of their launch groups, watch how they played.” (139) This quotation shows how the kids are interested and fascinated in what Ender is doing, inside the Battle Room, since Ender was one of the Toon leaders before he became the commander of the Dragon army. When Ender is being watched by the kids, he feels proud of what he has

Ender is one of the best commanders the International Fleet has ever wanted. He is put through the physical task that no battle student has ever done before. At Battle School, Ender is the commander of the dragon army, and is pressured everyday to compete in a battle against another army. Ender wins seven out of the seven battles he played in a week (Card 186). This shows Ender’s intellect over his irrationality and emotion. It also shows a new train of thought, because no other army is put through these stressful battle situations. When Ender takes part in the commander school training, there is a part where Ender unleashes against Petra (Card 284). Ender let his emotions get to him as they normally do. Ender sometimes lets his emotions too much, rather than think, he does irrational stuff. Ender is a good for David Hartwell’s idea, but yet he contradicts it. Ender finds himself in a hard situation. He decides to go and restart the bugger colony. This scientific advancement that Ender wants to bring to the buggers is pessimistic for the International Fleet, and they cannot do anything to stop

Leadership many times can be misinterpreted by many individuals. Leadership is an ability that not everyone is meant to have nor develop. In fact, many can be called, “leaders” but that does not imply that their leadership role plays a positive impact on others. At times, some people seek leadership in a form to only obtain power and abuse it for their own self-interest. While there are others that create great influences to following generations. For instance, there are those like Plato and Thomas Jefferson who have established philosophical thoughts that for past centuries, have revolutionized many people’s ideals. Through their principles many people have identified, what they consider can exemplify, true characteristics that make someone have successful leadership qualities. In their own way, they have influenced others, with the purpose to communicate a foundation of important ideals which have helped guide many. Whether it is one or a group of individuals. Many people should consider in practicing and adapting to those philosophical principles, manifested in Plato’s, “The Allegory of the Cave” and Thomas Jefferson's, “The Declaration of Independence” essay who illustrate certain ideals and aspects of leadership in their own unique way.

A good leader needs to have many particular characteristics. Some of these are obvious, such as that they care about what you are doing and always puts you before themselves. Also another trait of a good leader is that they always keep promises they make. Some of the subtle attributes of a good leader are that they do not hide behind bad news. Moreover, they are easy people to talk to and they have a good if not excellent sense of humor.
