"Teamwork in its essence and at its best yields a whole, which is greater than the
  sum of its parts. In simpler terms, 1+1 adds up to more than 2.
It allows a group of people together, to make decisions and/or carry
  out activities more effectively and with more confidence, than any one team
  member could."
