DAOs​

Good rugby teams operate as DAOs

Like business, or a software team, Rugby demands players of various specific skill-set specialisations to combine under a common set of values and sense of purpose for how they approach the game.

In a chaotic game, Coaches can't control outcomes by dictating strategies from the sidelines.

  1. Provide player with mental tools to make the best decisions by playing what they see
  2. Create tougher conditions in training that isolate critical decision scenarios
  3. Continuously strengthen connection with values and purpose with effective storytelling

Winning a game of rugby like business, most often comes down to winning the small battles by incremental margins. Focus on the smaller metrics and the result will take take of itself.

Sometimes you are unlucky or meet an opponent that is having a great day. That doesn't mean the process is broken.

A great team is the combination of players and processes that know how to exploit opportunities from chaos.
