Work, without that unnecessary Leadership

I wanted to find a way to tie this post with the previous post, but the topics were slightly too far apart despite both falling under the topics of work and leadership.  I've been reading in Proverbs recently and again came across the verses about the Ant and its hard work, which is related to the way of wisdom.  It is fascinating that the Ant is specifically lauded for doing this without a manager, particularly in light of the generally accepted wisdom regarding leadership being the hinge for everything, an example of which is found in the previous post.


But consider the Ants without a manager in this video:



Finally, some previous pondering on the Ant:


Go to the Ant, if you’re lazy -
    I know it sounds crazy - but watch!
The Ant always works; its jobs never shirks!
    Which, of course, tells you why, if it’s rainy or dry,
When there’s cold or there’s heat, the Ant still has plenty to eat!
 (from Solomon's Proverbs 6:6-8, poeticized by me a couple years ago)
