Like how the weeds and climbers in the under storey of a giant tree inhibit the growth of other tall trees, the people in the coterie of entrepreneurs limit the role of good.........
Most entrepreneurs, tall leaders and celebrities suffer from lonely life even in the midst of crowd. They suffer isolation or solitude or a resolute state? The people who build their organization or their cult move away from them very fast with time. Why such situations happen?
Do such similar situations happen in nature also? When a tree grow to a huge size, the surrounding space below the tree will be very ideal for growth of another co-dominant tree as the soil would be very rich in organic manure due the fallen leaves of the tree, good moisture retention in the soil due to the shade and some level of protection for the plant during its early growth. In most cases, no co-dominant trees grow below such huge trees. The reason being is that the under storey and middle storey in most cases are occupied by weeds and climbers. These weeds and climbers never let the fertile space to be used by other co-dominant trees and hence other co-dominant trees rarely grow below a well grown tree.
It is generally believed that the tall trees never allow other tall trees to grow below them. But it is not true. The plants in the under and middle storey only inhibit the growth of other dominant trees.
The coterie or the group of people around the entrepreneurs or the celebrities in general never let any other good people to enter into the territory. They always create some suspicion on the motive of the newcomer and keep the spare fully and continuously reserved for the people in the coterie.
If an entrepreneur gets into such spider net, the organization would suffer greatly. Many organizations failed to grow beyond a level purely due to the influence of such coterie. Every decision and planning are done by the entrepreneurs are generally done in consultation with such coterie only.
The coterie will have their specific interest to serve and hence all their influence or interventions will have ‘self serving interest’ more than the interest of the organization or its people. Any one appears to be good for the organization but perceived to be not that good for their selfishness, the coterie would inhibit or prevent the entry of these people like how the weeds and climbers in the under storey of giant trees inhibit the growth of other dominant trees.
Entrepreneurs, celebrities and other tall leaders need to be very vigilant and skeptical about the people in the coterie and how they can influence various decision processes and ruin the organization or image. If the lower storey and middle storey of a giant tree is filled with weeds and climbers in nature, it is natural and the giant tree may not do much about it but in the case of the lower and middle storey of the entrepreneurs are possibly occupied by people only with the consent of the entrepreneurs/celebrities or tall leaders. Hence they alone can do something to change.
