Page "Synergy" Paragraph 23

Human synergy relates to human interaction and teamwork.

For example, say person A alone is too short to reach an apple on a tree and person B is too short as well.

Once person B sits on the shoulders of person A, they are tall enough to reach the apple.

In this example, the product of their synergy would be one apple.

Another case would be two politicians.

If each is able to gather one million votes on their own, but together they were able to appeal to 2. 5 million voters, their synergy would have produced 500, 000 more votes than had they each worked independently.

A song is also a good example of human synergy, taking more than one musical part and putting them together to create a song that has a much more dramatic effect than each of the parts when played individually.
