Orrin, I loved the post and you really helped me learn alot about communism! Thank you! When I was reading your post, particulary your second P, I started relating your thoughts to a leadership idea I was thinking about. Do you think a person that is obsessed with the power of a positional leader is communistic thinking? Now that might seem like kind of a weird question but let me explain. I have discovered that most positional leaders (which I think is the lowest and least talented form of leadership) are obsessed with the power, status, decisions, accalades, and stardom that comes with it. In corporations most positional leaders want control over everything: what time their employees come into work, what time they take a lunch, how much vacation they take, all decisions have to go through them. Now I know decisions and policies need to be setup within in organization to move the overall cause forward, but many of the positional leader's thoughts are more concerned about control instead of the overall cause. However many title driven positional leaders miss the whole idea that true leadership is not power over people, it is power with people. The way I can prove this is an absolute problem is because most people don't necessarily leave their jobs, they leave their leader. Why? Because that positional leader's "leadership lid" is so low it starts lowering the results that particular department could ever achieve. And then whenever anyone challenges the staus quo, that positional leader starts saying things like "that person is just power hungry." They don't even think of the fact people might just be impact hungry! So as a result the positional leader lacks the necessary competence to lead in the first place. In the end, the talented people leave the organization and for those that stay it almost seems like the only way to get ahead is to "suck up", fall in line, and not even tell the positional leader of his or her leadership blind spots. I just thought this type of "positional leadership thinking" could be a form of communistic thinking? Thanks Orrin! Best, Matt
