Habit
6: Synergize
Synergy is achieved
when 2 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 teen to value differences and better
appreciate others. Synergy is the reward; the delicious fruit you’ll taste was
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
strength to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument
is more important than another, just different.
