Habit #6: SYNERGIZE

TOGETHER IS BETTER

How can it be applied?

• listening to what every person has to say

• not excluding any ideas

• making sure that you don't stop at compromise but instead get everyone's ideas involved

• Now synergy is a combination of all the other habits.

• Synergy is a process that seeks to celebrate and understand peoples difference

What are the strategies that can get us into the habit?

• Celebrate differences

• Accept diversity

• Work as a team

• Be open minded

• Find new and better ways to complete tasks as a team

The idea of differences is clearly evident in Dr.Seuss’ One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish:

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.

What is the habit?

Why is synergy important?

Teamwork & Synergy

Finding the High way

Usually made up of 5 people:

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 it's a better way, a higher way.

• You must accept that being different is a strength

Have you ever seen a flock of geese in a v formation?Scientists learned that:

Getting to Synergy

HUMAN KNOT

What are the pros and cons?

THAAAANK YOU!

Depending on your RBA you may be able to:

There are three possible outlooks you can take...

KAHOOT!

By sharing in each other's draft,taking turns in the lead position, honking for encouragement, staying in formation and watching out for the wounded, they accomplish so much more than if each bird flew solo.

PS. Goodluck studying for exams!

•the flock flies 71% farther because when a goose flaps its wings it creates an updraft for the goose that follows

• when the lead gets tired he will rotate to the back and allow someone else to lead

•the other geese honk for encouragement

•whenever a goose falls out of formation, it feels the resistance and gets back into formation

•when one goose gets sick or injured and falls out of formation, two geese will follow it to help and protect it. They will stay with the goose until it gets better or dies and they will join a new formation or create their own to catch up

The objective of the game is to get everyone untangled WITHOUT EVER letting go of people’s hands.

1. Get into groups of 8-10

2. Everyone to reach their right arm towards the center and grab someone else's hand. Make sure no one grabs the hand of the person right next to them.

3. Next, have everyone reach their left arm in and grab someone else's hand

4. Untangle the knot!

• skip a few steps of the synergy plan

• continue building RBA (if one party makes more effort)

1. Shunner’s profile: scared of differences, enjoy ridiculing those who are different, will often hang out in cliques or groups because there is strength in numbers

2. Tolerator’s profile: believes that everyone has the right to be different, does not embrace differences, but does not shun them, keeps to themselves and usually sees differences as hurdles

3. Celebrator’s Profile: Values differences, does not mean that they agree with all of people’s differences, but they see value in them, sees weaknesses as an advantage

• compromise is 1 + 1 = 1.5

cooperation is 1 + 1 = 2

synergy is 1 + 1 = 3 or more

• Each person in the groups benefits from synergy, since everyone works together

• It is a way to learn about other peoples differences as well as celebrate them

• Can produce better results than working alone, since others bring their personal experience and ideas to the table

• Allows for good teamwork amongst all members

Plodders - sure and steady, stick to one job until it's done

Followers - supportive of leaders, hear a great idea and run with it

Innovators - creative, offer the sparks

Harmonizers - provide unity and support, encourage cooperation

Show-offs - can be tough but are fun to work with, add spice and momentum

Synergy is Synergy is not

Celebrating differences Tolerating differences

Teamwork Working independently

Open-mindness Thinking you're always right

Finding new and better ways Compromise

• the whole is greater than the sum of the parts

celebrate differences...

• No one is better or worse, only different

• Don't blend in, be proud and celebrate that you're unique

• Celebrating differences can be a struggle for most of us!

• However we are all a minority of one, diversity isn’t just an external thing but an internal thing as well; it is internal in how we learn

Roadblocks that we may face are...

FRUIT GAME!

• Ignorance - you're clueless, as in you don't know what other people have been through

• Cliques - a group becomes exclusive and rejects anyone who isn't like them

• Prejudice - stereotype, labeled, pre-judged

South Pacific's "You've taught me well"

If your highest score was in column 1, consider yourself a grape

If your highest score was in column 2, consider yourself an orange

If your highest score was in column 3, consider yourself a banana

If your highest score was in column 4, consider yourself a melon

There are seven different intelligences:

stick up for diversity, be courageous!

1. Lingustic- learn through reading, writing, and telling stories

2. Logical- learns through logic, patterns and relationships

3. Kinesthetic- learns by bodily sensations and touching

4. Spatial- learns through images, and pictures

5. Musical- learns by sounds and rhythm

6. Interpersonal- learns through interactions and communications with others

7. Intrapersonal- learns through their own feelings.

• Most teenagers lack synergy, they don’t really understand how to value and utilize peoples differences to bring out their best.

In relation to school environment

• Synergy does not only apply in groups, although this is when it works best, synergy can just be used at anytime in your daily life when learning to appreciate differences. If you see someone who dresses or physically looks differently don’t see this as something wrong but something unique.

• Most people work to benefit them, especially when group work comes into play, they get what they are assigned done and seize to concern themselves with their other group members

• The next time you are involved in a group project or a sports team take the time to get to know the differences of your members, so that you can use them to your ability. Once this is done you will be able to complete the task at hand much more efficiently, since people are doing this they are good at and combining it together to crate the one big project of good team.

• Most people assume that this is the approach that will produce the best out come but they are wrong.

• Neither of these learning styles are better than the other! They are just DIFFERENT!

• It is also important to realize that everyone views the world differently

 This is because we each had different events and pasts to formulate how we see things currently

Achieving synergy requires high trust and high cooperation

“Two heads are better than one”

 If a group of friends are working on a big project for the class one person cannot do it all so the group decides to split the project up based upon who would produce the best results for which part, Stephanie is good at writing so she works on the essay, Samantha is good with technology so she works on the visual presentation for the class, Ana Rita is good socially so she organizes and presents a lot of the presentation, and finally Claudia is creative so she puts together the games and interactive part of the project.

If you put two pieces of wood together they will hold much more compared to the total weight held by each piece of wood individually
