The essence of positive synergy can be found in the phrase “The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.” Conversely, negative synergy occurs when the whole is less than the sum of the parts. Mathematically, these two states can be symbolized by the following equations: Positive Synergy 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 5 10 Negative Synergy 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 5 2 (or even 22) Synergy perhaps can best be seen on a basketball court, a soccer pitch, or a football field where teammates play as one to defeat a superior foe (see Snapshot from Practice: The 2008 Olympic Redeem Team).
