I think the quality of leadership is important in this story because there are foiling qualities in Luna and Doon opposed to the authorities especially the mayor. I think the concept of people changing in the face of adversity is connected to this and also shows in other people like Lizzie and Looper. It is easily seen that people with power in this society become selfish just as the mayor only focus was keeping him safe without worrying about the rest of the citizens, which is the opposite of what a leader should value. The corruption in the City of Ember reinforces the idea that humanity will become selfish because the people in the City of Ember are not pressed by the same factors that are present today but still give in to the same temptations.
