Remember The Titans System

Remember the Titans A system is something that is hard to study. It is always changing and it’s a complex, intricate thing that is sometimes hard to understand and grasp. However, by using system theory, we’re able to examine a system and what makes it function. There is not just one thing that makes up a system.

One type of synergy is positive synergy. This is when a team performs better than the individual abilities of the members would lead you to expect. This can be related back to when the group had won their first game. Since the team had been kind of rocky for awhile between the players, it was assumed that they wouldn't win and that they would fail.
