1. A hierarchical chain of leadership.
vs.
2. One leader and all of the rest followers.
Do you see how the second fails? Because they never know enough to make leadership decisions themselves. Hence the leader of them has also failed.
In effect in number 2 the leader does not want the followers to know the way themselves. Because he fears he will then no longer be their leader. Hence they do not learn from such a "leader." Perhaps they don't want to. Perhaps they don't want to have to learn.
At some point the leader who for whatever reason does not want his followers to know the way, loses the way himself?
