Habit 6: Synergize TM
Principles of Creative Cooperation
It basically based on our perceptions that how we see the world and what we think
about the world. Synergy based on teamwork, collaboration & communication skills and
.moving from independence to interdependence
SYNERGY means " Two heads are better than one" (But it doesn't happen its own)
.SYNERGY • Helen Keller said, “Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much
SYNERGY/COLLABORATION • Cooperative interaction among groups • The
ability to create more together than we can separately • The knowledge that there are
!differences between people, and these differences are there to celebrate
For example, if you plant two plants close together, their roots will co-mingle and improve
.the quality of the soil, so that both plants will grow better than they would on their own
- :In the term of business
Synergy is the concept that the combined value and performance of two companies will be
greater than the sum of the separate individual parts. Synergy is a term that is most
.commonly used in the context of mergers and acquisitions (M&A)
?.Which variables that have the greatest impact on team creativity
What I found was this concept called Creative Synergy. This is where the interactions
amongst team members where the collective creative results are greater than the sum of their
individual efforts. Essentially, one plus one is greater than two. There is something about
.teams getting together
.The biggest challenge is to how we implement synergy in our real life
Every human has four endowments - self-awareness, conscience, independent will and
creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to
.respond, to change
The synergy between parents and teachers allowed students to be educated both at home and
.at school
,Synergy is everywhere in nature
Keeping promises
Being happy that we’re different
Working in teams
Being open minded
Thinking outside the box
Coming up with third alternatives
Brainstorming
Synergistic communication simply means keeping your mind open to new possibilities,
unexpected suggestions and novel ideas.
To work effectively, the communication must occur within an environment of mutual trust,
where the communicators feel free to express unusual and creative ideas without fear of
ridicule or criticism. This form of communication can be key for the growth of your business,
the ability for your staff to openly provide their ideas, it can deliver that 'eureka' moment that
catapults your company to the next level.
Not only will it provide new product ideas but also can be great source of innovation and of
finding new, potentially more efficient ways of working.
Synergy is about valuing differences
Surround yourself with people who offset your weaknesses •
Work together to create solutions better than anyone could create on their own •
Get the most from the team by recognizing each participants unique strengths •
Advantage of valuing differences
Act with courage and consideration •
Direct and honest •
Reputation as respectful •
Desire success for others •
Strong self-image •
?How do you synergize
Define problem or opportunity •
Seek 1st to understand •
Seek to be understood •
Create new options and ideas •
Determine the best solution •
This represents one of the great tragedies and wastes in life, because so
much potential remains untapped — completely undeveloped and unused.
Ineffective people live day after day with unused potential. They experience
.synergy only in small, peripheral ways in their lives
