The feeling of togetherness is one that nothing can beat. To have it as a family, team, alliance, or be it in any other form of relationship that you have with anyone, is a big deal. With unity for any group of people being a wish, society needs to invest more on things that keeps people together and living in harmony.
Looking at the the concept of unity when referring to togetherness, the end result when narrowing it down gives us family. Then now, in family, comes the saying that family is that root of one's being, and that is true. But then, in the same length of play, any group that is related whether by common interest or by blood, takes the shape of family. What is further interesting in it though, is the saying that with one's akin family, blood is thicker than water. Though loosely used, it's the truth that will never go away.
Blood is thicker than water gets to somehow extend to opportunity in some way. In an economy, created opportunity knows the address of the one whom is related to the opportunity bringer and that means the clique or clan first and beyond, but keeping it close nit. We may call it however we please but nepotism, tribalism, ethnicity, all stem from that. In the modern day it has tentacles that goes beyond the call of segregation in that political allegiance, social class, genderism, religious denomination, and many factors of relation, forms the basis of the new blood.
In business, the same happens. How we relate is informed by many grey denominators. And, yes, at the end as individuals going into an economic relationship, we become a family. Partners as a collective will have their own culture that's a sub in the main culture the world of biz has. Though arguable to those not getting it right, but partnership a cult. With the vision and its secret to achieving it binding us, there'll still be a divisive force if in the collective there's an element of akinness.
In conclusion: it should not be that it discourage any closeness but there's always a challenge in anything that has akin relation attached to it. The common challenge is failure to be fair in meting out justness where there's misconduct. Family members will side with one another and fail fairness, and this alone is the reason some organizations never saw the horizon of their planned success, just because blood is thicker than water in every aspect of them, hence some opt out of invites for joining entities that are laced with family bonds...dp
