This document discusses synergy and how it relates to building powerful networks and teams. Synergy refers to when discrete influences or agents working together create an effect greater than the sum of their individual parts. Synergy is achieved through mutual agreement, cooperation, and collaboration between organizations or team members to maximize the qualities of each element. In contrast, antagonism occurs when the combined effect is lower than the sum of individual influences. The key to achieving synergy or avoiding antagonism in a network or team is building high-quality bonds and relationships between members.
