One of the things about a great team is that the whole exceeds the sum of its partners.
If, at the end of my days, the sum of what I've taken exceeds the sum of what I've given, then I have lived in vain.
Synergy: The combined effect of individuals in collaboration that exceeds the sum of their individual effects.
Sports remain a great metaphor for life's more difficult lessons. It was through athletics that many of us first came to understand that fear can be tamed; that on a team the whole is more than the sum of its parts; and that the ability to be heroic lies, to a surprising degree, within.
It has been said: The whole is more than the sum of its parts. It is more correct to say that the whole is something else than the sum of its parts, because summing up is a meaningless procedure, whereas the whole-part relationship is meaningful.
If you continue to keep low performers on your team, that are actually dragging the team down; you're failing the whole team, and eventually, the whole team is going to fail.
I like our whole team. That's the biggest thing about football. It's got to be your whole team. It just can't be one side carrying the other.
The team is never about the single player. It's not about the injury that keeps a star out of a certain game, and it's not about the coach. It's about the strength, and the abilities of the sum.
One of the great strengths of American culture is this empowerment of individual, is the individual being able to be entrepreneurial, create new things. But you create a whole group of people to make great companies. It's employees and investors and customers and partners. The fabric of society, of a network of relations, is key to being successful.
My parents divorced when I was very, very young, but they maintained an incredibly amicable relationship. They were great partners, they were great parents, and they were great friends throughout my whole life until I was about 25, at which point they realized that they could relinquish; they could call it and move on.
I've put my whole heart into cooking dishes that I am passionate about on 'Girl Meets Farm', and this has been met with such great support from the whole team and the Food Network and now our viewers.
We have an amazing engineering team in the company pushing the limits of device physics and some great partners in manufacturing.
I do my best on the golf course. I am learning about the business side of it. But I have a lot of great partners that help me with all those things.
I do know it's great to have a support from a fan base of a team. Football is such a team game, such a team aspect to it... Good things happen, the praise is spread around; and bad things happen, usually it's not just one person's fault.
Every great team that I've been on, the offensive linemen was the bell cows of the whole team.
From my point of view, it is not the coach who becomes world champion, it is a team. Not just the players who played, but the whole squad, and also the team behind the team. Because if you want to achieve success, the whole team has to work perfectly, like a machine, and all the pieces of the puzzle need to fit together into one picture.
To get important work done, most leaders organize people into teams. They believe that when people collaborate toward a common goal, great things can happen. Yet in reality, the whole is often much less than the sum of the parts.
