The Maze Runner: Thomas' leadership skills

I just finished reading The Maze Runner and I really liked it. It's a sci-fi ish book where a group of about 40 kids are stuck in a sort of prison that is a maze. Thomas, the main character, enters the "Glade" and seems to be different than his companions. I've noticed that Thomas is a very strong leader. He can stay calm in a difficult situation, and he has a way about him that can command a room full of people and make them realize that they should be listening to him.

Thomas is a strong leader because he is able to stay calm and think in a difficult situation. For example, when Thomas was being chased by griever, he was able to think of a strategy to avoid it. Instead of giving in or just running, he thought of climbing up the walls on the vines, and he was even brave enough to carry Alby up the wall to keep him Safe when anyone else would have just left him there.

Thomas is a strong leader also because he is able to get people to listen to him and do what he says. When he was at the gathering to talk about what they were going to do, he was able to get everyone to agree that they needed to go down the griever hole, even though he had no proof ecept his word.
