7 habits of highly successful teens
Habit 6
Habit 6: Synergize
Synergize 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 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 strengths to the
table to create something better that each could alone. No instrument is more
important than another, just different.
