Habit 6: Synergize

Synergy allows us to create new options and open new possibilities by valuing the differences between people and being open to listening to and understanding them. The idea is that together you can produce better results than on your own.

By understanding and valuing the differences in another people’s perspective, we have the opportunity to create synergy. Synergy is celebrating differences and finding new and better ways together. By working together we can discover new possibilities that we didn’t have when we worked on our own. The idea is that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. When people begin to interact together genuinely, and they’re open to each other’s influence and they then begin to gain new insight. This means you can produce something with another person that neither of you could have produced separately.
