team chemistry
Collective interpersonal harmony
Team chemistry is the intangible quality that makes a group work well together—the combination of personalities, communication, and mutual understanding that produces results beyond individual talents.
Sports teams with good chemistry often outperform more talented but fractious rivals: They don't have superstars, but their team chemistry is unmatched.
The term extends to any collaborative group: workplaces, bands, creative partnerships.
