Synergy -- It has become a buzz word in business made popular by speakers and authors. It is a word that came to my mind yesterday when a person who is on a 'team' of mine stole from me. It wasn't a big theft - he stole a 40 cent orange. I had left it on a table and when I returned it was gone. I instinctively knew who took it so I searched him out and found him in another part of the building chomping on an orange. He denied, denied and denied but it was obvious what he had done. I didn't lash out at him - instead I thanked him for revealing his character to me in a way that only cost me 40 cents! Now I will be more careful with my wallet, and it cost me less than a dollar to learn this lesson from this man.
Later as I sat in my chair that day, reflecting, I was disappointed. Not because of the orange but because of what just happened to our team. If I allow it, this could disrupt the synergy of the entire team. Synergy occurs when a team is moving in unison. On a football field it is when a team is in complete sync and the quarterback knows exactly where all the receivers are without looking and where they will be in 2 seconds. Synergy occurs because the team has practiced over and over together, and that reputation builds trust in one another's actions. It is a beautiful thing to watch a team in the midst of synergy. Synergy is when all the components come together and 1 + 1 = 3 because of the momentum.
Success in your organization can multiply geometrically if there is synergy. The keys to maintaining synergy are: 1) selfless acts of the team members who see the team as greater than the individual, 2) practiced repetition of the desired outcome and 3) trust that comes from the previous two principles.
Synergy can be destroyed by an orange if you let it or harnessed for your success if you desire.
