Partnership or Working on Different Parts of a Ship?

It is quite possible for two individuals to be working on two distinctly different parts of a ship and yet to require no coordination with one another...or, for that matter, to even have a knowledge of each other's presence and work.  Doing work on different parts of a ship has some value and at times is even the right approach.

But it is NOT partnership.

Partnership hinges on coordination.  A knowledge of the others presence AND a sense of how the interlocking pieces mix to create a situation where the product is greater than the sum of the parts.

True partnership (not just working on different parts of the same ship) is tough to create, but powerful when done well.

Maybe one of the greatest examples is this.
