Habit 6: Synergize
Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together
to create something better than either could alone. Through this habit, teens
learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” or “my way” but rather a better way, a
higher way. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get
better at living the other habits, especially at thinking Win-Win and seeking
first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V
formations with others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be
amazed at how much faster and farther you’ll go. Synergy doesn’t just happen.
It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this:
Learn to celebrate differences.
A good band is a great example of synergy. It’s not just
the drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, it’s all of them
together that make up the “sound.” Each band member brings his or her strengths
to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is
more important than another. Just different.
