Chemistry Class

I know if you show up everyday and write you’ll get better at writing.

And this is the case with most anything. We get better at the things we’re consistent with.

But I’ve been hitting a snag…

What about chemistry…Can it be grown? Is it fundamentally there or not there within certain combinations of people? Can you get better at having it? Better at creating it?

Certainly we can actively develop richer relationships, get to know the people around us, learn to be better leaders and followers…but in my experience magical chemistry is different.

If there isn’t magic chemistry within a group, is the only option to change personnel? Or can you tweak and learn and grow it with the existing crew?

The moment before John and Paul met, the didn’t have chemistry…yet. And I’ll surmise it wasn’t there till at least thirty seconds into their relationship. So what was developing in those thirty seconds that wasn’t there before?

In the same breath…Pete Best was replaced for more than just drum skills. Ringo was the glue they needed, the glue that Pete wasn’t. So the question here is, could Pete have developed that role over time?
