Let’s stop being less than the sum of our parts
Let's connect as a Gestalt. Let's create something greater than the sum of our parts. Let's connect for more, not less.
When players put all their attention onto executing their parts within a fixed sum of parts, and it fragments, players make uncharacteristic mistakes. The team’s performance becomes less than the sum of the parts.
Addressing this challenge isn’t about pushing players to execute their parts with greater precision. Rather, it involves nurturing connections between the parts to allow players to create something greater than the sum of the parts—a *Gestalt*. Players observe the big picture of what is going on around them, waiting for opportunities to step in and offer previously unseen alternatives as someone’s options begin to dwindle. Players feel like everyone is supporting them to succeed by exploring the unknown.
However, we must keep practicing *Gestalt*, as the ever increasing ability of technology to measure parts of a performance diverts our attention to perfecting a fixed sum of parts.
