Credit and Incentives
Take the politics of who gets applauded out of the picture and everyone's incentive stays on the idea. Remove the need to be self-applauded, and the work gets done. That was Bono's line.

Pairing two worlds, like basketball and music, or Eve and Gwen Stefani, produces a synergy that compounds both.
