According to Wikipedia
Synergy is two or more things functioning together to produce a result not independently obtainable. The term synergy comes from theGreek word synergia συνεργία from synergos, συνεργός, meaning "working together".[1]
I work on a team with my job; there is no synergy. I have worked on a team at my church; there was no synergy.
Why? you may ask.
I'll tell you......
Team work is one thing; all have the same goal but getting there is indivudialzed.
Synergy is team work towards the same goal but the goal is accomplished with communication.
Take a Football team. You have talented players, all with specific skills. Those teams that focus on those specific skills individually do not win often. Those teams that individually communicate with each other often excel (synergy).
In our churches we have individual persons trying to accomplish one goal. Often though, those team members at the top are ok with synergy as long as it is done their way. Competition gets in the way of true synergy.
I have seen this up close and personal.
What could we have accomplished if we allowed each skill set to do what it does best and worked together (synergy) to meet the one goal?
There is too much competition for recognition.
