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 allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. 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 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 difference.

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 instruments are more important than another, just different.

Choose the Right!!!
