In the end, most cynics are proven right. But so are most optimists. You make the world you live in.

QuoteIt's synergy

The last time I heard that term was in a movie which a company bought a sports magazine and drove it into the ground.
You need a plan that has a high probability of being successful first, then the people will work together whether they like each other or not because they know that success will happen with or without them.

I disagree.  You don't need a plan.  Sometimes just doing something or taking a chance is a reward in itself.  Sometimes important things are not those you can count or stack in a pile.

Not when lives are are in the balance or the issue is important to succeed.

No. 

But even then, nothing is certain.  Ever.
