Beyond Success: Achieving Synergy in Teamwork
1. Abstract
We presented a paper based on teamwork and the importance of synergy in it. The following report is to analyze the article and give a brief summary of it to reach conclusions that teach the managers must pay attention to create environments of teamwork and healthy competition.
2. Introduction
Since we are small we are educated with models that depict heroes who achieve their success with individual acts. Movie heroes with supernatural powers who do all their own.But that does not mean that teamwork is not more successful and effective. The benefit is greater and in meeting goals is more competent. Being on top is lonely, it is said by toplevel managers.
3. Defining Synergy and Teamwork
Synergy is the ability of a group to outperform even its best individual member. These conclusions are derived from the studies conducted by Jay Hall on a number of laboratory-based group ranking and prediction tasks. He found that effective groups actively looked for the points in which they disagreed and in consequence encouraged conflicts amongst the participants in the early stages of the discussion. In contrast, the ineffective groups felt a need to establish a common view quickly, used simple decision making methods such as averaging, and focused on completing the task rather than on finding solutions they could agree on.
Teamwork is work performed by a team towards a common goal.

4. Effective Teamwork Requires a Change of Assumptions
We often see that although teams are composed of individual talent but never get to mate and their success is limited. An example would be the football team that looks like the club invests millions of dollars in acquiring new stars but they never learn to work together. Money is not enough to educate individuals to work as a team.
The subconscious tells us to seek follow Assumptions with whom we have
