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 cloud 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. Synergize allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergize 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. Synergize 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. Its not just the drums, or the guitar or the sax or the vocalist, its all of them together that make up the “sound”. Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more important than another.
