Habit 6: Synergize • ALONE we can do so little; together we can do so much. Helen Keller
Think of examples of TEAM work Give ONE example to echo what Helen Keller said.
What does ‘Synergize’ mean? Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together to create a better solution than either could alone. It’s not your way or my way but a better way, a higher way.
Synergy is EVERYWHERE We see them come We see them go Some are fast And some are slow Some are high And some are low Not one of them is like another Don’t ask us why Go ask your mother
Possible approaches to Diversity Level 1: Shun diversity Level 2: Tolerate diversity Level 3: Celebrate diversity
Shun Diversity Shunners are afraid of differences They may convince themselves their way of life is the ‘best’, ‘right’ or ‘only’ way. They may not enjoy dialogues of different ideas; or even confrontation.
Tolerate Diversity Tolerators believe that everyone has the right to be different They don’t shun diversity but don’t embrace it either Their motto is: “You keep to yourself and I’ll keep to myself. You do your thing and let me do mine. You don’t bother me and I won’t bother you,”
Tolerate Diversity The well water does not intrude into [interfere with] the river water井水不犯河水
Celebrate Diversity Celebrators value differences They see differences as an advantage, not a weakness. They’ve learned that two people who think differently can achieve more than two people who think alike. Celebrating differences doesn’t mean you have to agree with those differences
Celebrate Diversity Diversity = Creative Sparks = Opportunity
