What is synergy
Synergy in a group of people exists when the sum of the separate qualitaties and talents are combined together more than the sum of their sepperate effects → 1 + 1 is at least bigger than 3.
﻿
Steps to create synergy
ASK: Are all parties in the situation willing to go for a solution that is better than any of us has come up with yet?
DEFINE together the criteria of success
CREATE one or many 3rd alternatives for the situation 
ARRIVE at synergy or a 3rd alternative

Tips to create synergy in a group
* A sensitive introduction, in which everyone got to know each other well and could also react emotionally to each other. That requires listening, looking, feeling, accepting, connecting. Get to know more about each other. The better you know the other person, the less inclined you are to judge.
* Empathy for each other. When you're connecting with others, you sometimes have to get out of your comfort zone. Every person has some barriers to overcome.
* Do not form judgments. All ideas, intuition and feelings, may be there. Everything has value and everyone is entitled to have their own story.
* Letting go. Choose the bigger picture. Sometimes your idea doesn't find a breeding ground, or it doesn't work for the higher purpose. That doesn't mean it's a bad idea, just this time it won't get you closer to the goal. Letting go of the idea and moving on to other perspectives that prove more fruitful for the purpose is than necessary. It's also called Kill your darlings. Cherish those ideas and keep them. They will prove fruitful at another time or for another purpose. It is often not important who comes up with which idea, or who has taken the first step towards an interpretation of something. Because we work together, everything that bubbles up or becomes visible in the group is the outcome of the collaboration. Everything comes from the inspiration we give each other.
* Dare to learn. Dare to fail. Nobody is perfect and it is a strength to dare to learn. Someone who makes a mistake and does something which makes no sense, wakes up the whole group. This moment can become a very consciously lived moment in a group.
* Stacking. Complement each other, be inspired by the other. That sets in motion a flow that is so powerful that it creates interpretations that you never expected. That makes one + one equals (or even be more than) three.
* Euphoria. When a group's task is over, everyone feels excitement, euphoria, a sense of great togetherness and happiness. It worked. Beforehand perhaps the group had no idea what would come out of it, and went completely open in the process. That gives satisfaction.
* Applause. Applaud a team for their synergistic collaboration. That encourages you to continue. That indicates that you are successful and have done your job exceedingly well.
