Related to the theme of leadership, Ralph shows how leadership and cooperation relate, what qualities a leader has to have in order to produce cooperation, and what the limits of cooperation are. When he organizes the boys, he shows how leadership can work with cooperative principles to build a society. This works for him because he's intelligent, good-looking, and charming. However, raw animal passion can overwhelm and disrupt cooperation, and when that happens, the leader's charisma is useless.
