Ender's Game

I re-read a favorite sci-fi classic recently called Ender's Game. It's about a genetically engineered little boy born in the far distant future who is chosen at an early age to be trained for military command. If I were going to teach a class on leadership I'd use this book, along with the movie Twelve O'Clock High, as tools to explore the many different styles of leadership. Ender's Game is the first in a four-part series of books about the life of the boy we meet in that first book. It's a great read and a great story - even if you don't care for sci-fi. In fact, it shows up on many lists of the greatest books of all time on Amazon. Give it a look. And if you haven't seen Twelve O'Clock High you've missed a truly great movie.
