Why we cant be equal even for philosophies espousing egalitarianism
There was a story about a fox who wanted to be a leader. After a hunt, he aspires to divide the spoils equally for every one in the team. But at the end of the day, the leader was ousted by the members who ganged upon him And tearfully the fox left the team.
Then it was chance of the lion. The lion say allotted 30% of the catch to him and let the others fight over the 70%. So the followers, the rest of the team spent time and energy fighting each other
Fot the next hunt, the lion alloted himself 50% of the hunt and left 50% for the rest. The team fought each other savagely until one was left to deal with him, which was easier rather than fighting all of the cohort.
Lesson learned:

2. The term of management for this are:
1. Organization chart
2. Division of labor
3. Compartmentalized communication
4. Need to know basis
5. Salary scale

3. You cant be naive with power and leadership
4. Read Machiavelli the Prince
5. Leadership power means you have to keep them oppressed or illiterate
