Habit 6: Synergize

ynergy is achieved when two or more people work together to
produce something better than either one 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 allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others.
Synergy is the reward, the decisions 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 hand 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 the other, just different.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
