That model may work\r\n                    in one market or during an early launch, but it becomes fragile\r\n                    as the network expands.\r\n                <\/p>\r\n\r\n                <p>\r\n                    A functioning community develops people who can teach, organise,\r\n                    translate, introduce and support others.

Trust develops when people encounter consistent\r\n                    standards, useful guidance and leaders who accept responsibility\r\n                    for the quality of local relationships.\r\n                <\/p>\r\n\r\n                <p>\r\n                    That distinction matters whenever an idea crosses markets.\r\n                    A central figure can communicate the vision, but cannot personally\r\n                    sustain every relationship. Identity has to travel through capable\r\n                    leaders, recurring education, shared experiences and a culture\r\n                    strong enough to remain recognisable in different settings.\r\n                <\/p>\r\n\r\n                <p>\r\n                    His public work therefore focuses on the infrastructure behind\r\n                    influence: how leaders are developed, how expectations are\r\n                    communicated and how communities move from attention to\r\n                    participation.
