Synergy

Synergy is when two objects or even two people act the same way to achieve a certain goal. It is used also to talk about synergy couples and levels of friendships, where people strive hard to make the relationship work, to work, where the two parties do the same thing. An example of synergy is when there are only two alternatives, between two people, instead of them discuss about the best, they seek a third, i.e. the option synergistic, and harmonious (Wolfe et al., 2005).

Skills: while the group uses random and varied skills of its members, the team is characterized by complementarily of skills of its members to carry out a common task, joint and ...
