When it’s not working, we often limit our response to doubling down on fixing faulty parts, when we should also focus on strengthening the relationships between the parts so they connect better as a whole.
The whole is not the sum
of its parts. It's the
relationship
between them.
Insight emerges from the relationship of the whole, not from a reduction to the parts.
The ability to keep discovering new ways to make things work emerges from our relationship with the whole.
When you feel comfortably in control,
your attention is probably focused entirely
on fixing faulty parts.
Unless you also pay attention
to the relationships that connect the whole,
it will soon stop working.
Club players train the relational skills for team chemistry

About the event
"The online social world is the biggest factor stopping us from developing the relational skills to enhance team chemistry."
In 1994, I was among the first to explore which aspects of face-to-face communication could be transitioned online. Upon discovering that these are all social interactions that can be measured, I redirected my focus toward training skills of relationships of connections that can only be felt and never wholly measured. Coincidentally, these skills correspond with those necessary for fostering team chemistry in sports: the ability to enhance the intangible relational bonds between players.
