Dre really comes off as a calculating guy that’s got everything under control or at least that’s what he projects. We use the moniker “Ghost 2.0” when talking about him. Does anybody think he handled that situation with 2Bit well? Getting in his face after 2Bit didn’t follow his instructions was straight emotion and instinct. He then proceeds to undress him verbally and loudly state who is in charge. True leaders, rarely if ever, have to resort to these types of actions. Think back to season one when Ghost and Tommy were trying to determine who was jacking their product. Tommy always wanted to go off instinct and emotion. Ghost would often urge him to think and use caution. If someone had to get dealt with they would, and Ghost was okay with that. He also did his best to engage in dialogue with his primeras and subordinates, flexing when necessary but always showing where the power resides. You could definitely argue that it backfired, but was that due to being a poor leader?
Also, the way Dre handles the Jimenez will be very interesting to watch going forward. Diego certainly has a way of using sex to intimidate Dre and show him who is in charge. If you think about it, so did Lobos in seasons one and two. Not in the same way as Diego. Lobos used his flamboyance to try and keep Ghost off balance, whether close talking or touches, etc. Ghost always kept his cool. Ultimately he and Tommy killed Lobos, but that was for a different reason. There is a deft touch that Ghost had when managing up to Lobs and leading his subordinates that Dre hasn’t quite developed. Will he?
