Habit 6: Synergize

Habit 6: Synergize

I value other people’s strengths and learn from them.  I get along well with others, even people who are different than me.  I work well in groups.  I seek out other people’s ideas to solve problems because I know that by teaming with others we can create better solutions than any one of us alone.  I am humble.

7 Habits for Families
Synergy is not just teamwork or cooperation.  Synergy is creative teamwork, creative cooperation.  Something new is created that was not there before.  Synergy comes from a win-win mindset and seeking first to understand and then to be understood. With synergy, differences are celebrated.  You must be able to sincerely say “The fact that we see things differently is a strength- not a weakness- in our relationship”.  Synergy is the fruit of habits 4 and 5.  Think of ways your family can synergize such as planning and preparing meals together, deciding on television watching guidelines, deciding on family activities or vacations.  The possibilities are endless and the results will be worth the work!
