"Isn't ironic..."

Just a thought. The Communist regime in Poland fell inpart of Lech Walesa's solidarity movement. A word that means union and fellowship. Here is a definition.

Communnism would seem to mean a similar definition in governmental terms. History's ironies are interesting.

Anyways, leaders should think about the principles of solidarity. Basically, although a leader may be in a higher position, she should realize that she is not worth more in the sense of human value. This recognition should lead the leader to see the needs, desires, likes, strengths, and most importantly talents of her followers and assign roles consistent with those. Ego will need to step out the door so that the leader will be able to help others in a genuine way.
