When you have a solid, cohesive, connected group of people and you...add others to it…
It’s easy to think you’re simply building on the greatness you already have ‘if this is good more will be better’…but it’s much more likely you’ll have to redefine the group from the ground up.
or if you subtract people…
If you have five great people and one leaves it’s easy to think that you’re operating at eighty percent of your identity and you just need to build back that twenty…when in reality you’re probably going to have to start back at zero and rebuild the identity from scratch.
When we have a good thing we want to invite others.
When a good thing gets shaken we want to repair quickly.
Both things are possible and can be done…but both will result in something different than we had before.
