7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens
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 the better
at living the other habits, especially at thinking win-win and seeking first to understand. Learning
to synergize is like learning to form a V formation 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: Learn
the 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 own or her strengths to
the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is
more important than another, just different.
