Nadia walk down the streets towards florist store, on another side of the road, there is bar with many kind people. Some running the business and some just stand on the edge of the bar talking and whispering. Shes then stop by the grocery store next to the florist and flashback the question that she had early on the park. 

Once again I am here to ask for your thoughts on something that has been going through my mind

Recently at the park I was speaking with two different people. One was saying how he wanted to go on to be a well respected person around here, possibly even becoming a leader. I was, as you can imagine, very pleased with this. Knowing he has something which is driving him on making him push to gain the respect and knowledge needed to succeed around here.

Then I spoke with someone else. A respectable business man who doesn't want any responsibilty working with the family. All he wants is family protection, He keeps the cash rolling in for me and calls into the HQ sometimes. However he is always away working abroad and so cannot be around for his family as much as he wants. Now don't get me wrong when he is around he helps out and does everything required of him but he knows he wont be in town long enough to help out with anything major event. He also said this: 

"Everyone wants a raise in wages, but money by itself doesn't build loyalty. There must be a path for a man to follow, a height that a man can climb to through his own hard work."

Now what is bothering me is this. one person with ambitions towards higher responsibility, one only care for businesses. Does that mean the person without ambition towards leadership is not important to the family? After all, he gets involved, helps out when he can and has been honest about letting me know its not possible for them to do as much as others. so should they be looked down upon for it.

my personal opinion is that everyone has their part to play on making the family work from top to bottom spreading the spirit of hustle whether it be Right Hand or someone that just goes out and helps make cash for the family. Those that don't keep their dollars straight lose respect quickly, and when respect dies, so does loyalty. For those that believe in the business, nothing is more insulting than loose purse strings. Carelessness can get you killed. 

Patting the shoulder of the person next to me.
"Don't you agree my friend? I would like to hear your opinions on the subject."

Williams was on his way to the florist to buy some flowers for a special someone, when he noticed some of his associates over at this bar, he makes a stop by to catch up with them, when he notices Nadia talking about a very interesting subject. When she asks to hear about his opinion, he decided to give his two cents on the matter:

I agree with you, in that everyone has a part to take. A role of their own that contributes to their city's, and their own personal success. I believe this is what turns them, in the eyes of their family, into a strong asset. No one should be disregarded, or considered less important. But a family is only really effective while there is any synergy in it. A city that doesn't know itself is not yet a family.

Not everyone is bound to lead at great heights, but that doesn't entitle the person who doesn't lead, to be free of responsibility. We are all leading our own personal business but it's important that each integral piece of the machine that we are, connects with the pieces that other family members represent. All in order for there to be effectiveness and more importantly, for a family to exist.

So what does it mean to have success in our line of work, and what is the essence of our business in the end? Is it just money, connections, knowledge or information? Can you really buy respect? Or loyalty for that matter.

My opinion is that strong families are built on respect and then trust, and that success can only be measured by how you work to bolster your family's influence. Surely every person has a path of their own, and the right for their deserved solitude, and although there is nothing I respect more than hard-work, the nature of our business states clearly that no one can be a mountain by themselves. No matter how well you dissect this place, and master each proficiency at it's turn, you will never be on pair to a strong organization on your own.

You may work hard and earn the respect of your peers, but you must have their trust as well or you'll never reach the heights you seek.

Ghost happens to be in the area and happens to overhear the topic being discussed.  After thinking about it, he decided to chime in since they were looking for opinions from others.

When you have a family you're bound to have a group of people around you that have different skills, talents, and interests.  If you have someone who aspires to greatness and meets all the demands of their family, a leader owes it to that person to give them a platform in which to grow while keeping them on course.  For those who just want to make money, a leader has a responsibility to that person to allow them to do that, but also inspire them to do more as well.

The one correction I would make, is that I don't think there's many people who will do everything that their leader expects just out of goodness of their hearts.  The whole idea of everyone has to play their parts is easy to say when you're not in a leadership role because its not that easy to get a group to follow suit with your expectations.  It's not so simple to have everyone step outside of their normal routine to make their family better.  In fact, I've seen leaders jump up and down with frustration because they aren't getting the support they anticipate.

It's easy to put some catchphrases and tricky phrases together to demand respect and action from those in your family.  I don't think that is leading a family though.  Does your leader know what your personal plans are?  Do you feel like you could do more?  We don't hold hands here, but I would expect a certain standard of self-awareness and engagement going in both directions to make a family truly successful.

Leadership is steering everyone's thoughts towards what is most beneficial to themselves towards a common goal for the group.

Ghost stands back for a moment and collects his thoughts.  He appears to have more to say but wants to give others a chance to have their say on the topic.
