Trait   This  Theory  explains  that  an  individual  leader  is   William  finds  his   William,  Roland  and   William  decides  that  the  three  of  them  (William,  Roland  and  
Based   born  with  qualiBes  that  make  them  the  leader   master  dead  on  the   Wat  come  across  Sir   Wat)  cannot  just  leave  their  master  lying  there  and  not  finish  
that  they  are.    This  theory  also  states  more  or   side  of  a  tree  in  the   Ector.    William  takes   what  he  was  heading  to  start.    None  of  them  step  up  at  first,  
Theories   less,  that  leaders  are  simply  born  not  made.   forest  as  him  and  his   on  the  role  to  take   but  then  Will  steps  up  to  the  plate  and  takes  the  leadership  
buddies  are  on  their   his  place  as  the   role  to  take  over  Ector’s  spot.    William  is  the  first  to  take  on  
way  to  the  jousBng   jouster  in  the   this  task  and  actually  has  to  convince  the  others  into  lebng  
tournament.   tournament  that  he   him  do  it  as  well.    Without  these  born  traits,  some  of  them

compete  in.   not  have  taken  on  this  ordeal  and  reaped  the  benefits.    

Skills  and   This  theory  is  based  off  of  the  competencies  we   Roland,  William,  Wat   Roland  is  listening  to   Roland  is  listening    to  William  working  through  his  thoughts

for  business  and  financial  reasons  as  well  it  helps  William  to  
win  the  tournament  and  prevail.
