Would we run like headless chickens?

There is always someone in the crowd who is an inborn leader who somehow brings out his leadership quality in when the situation demands. It is not always a good thing as one man's action may not necessarily bring the best for all under his lead. The leader's desire to mold his subjects to conform them to his desires to toe the line is probably because the leader thinks he is one step more intelligent than the rest and that he should do the thinking, is apparently not  working out well as we can see from the state of the world today. Do the leaders have a grand sense of grandiosity that they have been given the special powers by the Divine to cross the Red Sea in the Big Blue Marble?
An ant colony is known to have a complex societal system with sophisticated duties for all ants. All the 'brainless' ants are destined to their job without any guidance. The queen ants are not 'monarchs' in the real sense. They do not decree anything. They just provide the subjects, the ovaries of the community. The labourer ants just move around stupidly by chance without a boss, guided only by pheromones found on their fellow ants.  They explore by accident, by chance, to discover the sweet water that is lying about there.
It is something like a new bakery shop that draws more and more customers by word of mouth which was only discovered by chance. As more people start going to the row of shops, the area becomes a hotbed for business. Then the real estate value increases, the neighbourhood becomes a township just like that. There will be order and everything will go on at its own pace. Having a leader who dictates what and how it should be done will only create resentment and retaliation. Just a thought... Life without a leader!
In the bee kingdom, certain bees are fed the royal jelly to be a queen bee, a procreator, rather than a leader. But then, unlike homosapien, you do not have good ants and bad ants. In human kingdom, everybody wants to be king and you always have bad hats who are out to spoil a good thing.
