Rarely does any team get the luxury of sustained membership over a quarter of a century. Most groups manage a rhythm of turnover commensurate with the nature of their industry. In the interpersonal space, divorce is sufficiently common to compete with the recruitment/retention cycles of any professional organization. Most teams normalize the greetings and departures of ever changing personnel moves. Stability in membership is the exception to the rule.
The multifamily team evolved from a common core. A complex collection of relationships thrive within the nucleus. Each dyad has an anthology of pleasures and pains defining varying cycles of maturity. Accomplishment is celebrated and tragedy is soothed as the seasons wear on. Investment deepens. Trust is unconditional. Innovation sprouts unexpectedly. Distancing enables perspective and adjustment.
Teams are teams. Whether in the workplace, the neighborhood, or the family home, we are blessed with the richness of human connection. Allow the magic of longevity to cast its spell on your relationships. Seventy-seven times.
