Habit 6: Synergize

Work together to do better.

Creativity · Cooperation · Diversity · Humility


  • I value other people’s strengths and learn from them.

  • I get along well with others, even people who are different than me.

  • I work well in groups.

  • I seek out other people’s ideas because I know that by teaming with others, we can create better solutions than what any one of us could alone.

  • I look for Third alternatives.


Practicing At Home…

Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together to create a better solution than either would have thought of alone. It’s not your way or my way, but a better way.

With your child, discuss a problem you may have at home, like bedtime or dinner. Practice Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood when discussing solutions. Use the Synergizer (below) to summarize your child’s solution and then your solution. Together, try to reach a better solution than either of you would have thought of alone. The key is to really listen to each other.

Display this page where you and your child will see it.
