Working together is often said to be better than the sum of the parts. It is described mathematically as 2+2=5. The word used for this is synergy. It is from the Greek word 'sunergos' which means 'working together'. It can be interpreted as people working together and in business as two or more businesses working together or interacting. It can also be applied to team working or to a production line or any system with each individual part contributing to the finished product.
The actors in a synergistic system may work better if inspired by a charismatic leader whose sanctity, heroism or exemplary character provides the social power base for inspirational new enterprise, renewal or turnaround. Those situations require the combination of both inspirational leadership and the synergies of working together in difficult situations. They can make complex and difficult situations seem simple. They can condense complex ideas into simple phrases. They can be great people to have around but they are no guarantee of success. We have all heard of the guru that turned out to be a disappointment. Let's work together and do our best to succeed. We may have an inspiration in our midst.
