Synergize

Key Points:

  • When properly understood, synergy is the highest activity in all life- the true test and manifestation of all of the other habits put together. It catalyzes, unifies, and unleashes the greatest powers within people. Simply defined, it means that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It means that the relationship which the parts have to each other is a part in and of itself. 
  • Ineffective people live day after day with unused potential. They experience synergy only in small ways in their lives. Synergy is almost as if a group collectively agrees to subordinate old scripts and to write a new one.
  • The more authentic you become, the more genuine in your expression, particularly regarding personal experiences and even self-doubts, the more people can relate to your expression and the safer it makes them feel to express themselves.
  • "We seek not to imitate the masters, rather we seek what they sought."
  • The person who is truly effective has the humility and reverence to recognize his own perceptual limitations and to appreciate the rich resources available through interaction with the hearts and minds of other human beings. That person values the differences because of those differences add to his knowledge, to his understanding of reality.
  • Although you cannot control the paradigms of others in an interdependent interaction or the synergistic process itself, a great deal of synergy is within your Circle of Influence.
You can be synergistic within yourself even in the midst of a very adversarial environment. You don't have to take insults personally. You can sidestep negative energy; you can look for the good in others and utilize that good, as different as it may be, to improve your point of view and to enlarge your perspective.

5 Dimensions of Win/Win

Key Points: It begins with character and moves toward relationships, out of which flow agreements. It is nurtured in an environment where structure and systems are based on Win/Win. And it involves process; we cannot achieve Win/Win ends with Win/Lose or Lose/Win means. Character There are three character traits essential to the Win/Win paradigm. Integrity, Maturity, Abundance Mentality.  Integrity is the values we place ourselves into. Maturity is the balance between courage and consideration.  Abundance Mentality is the paradigm that there is plenty out there for everybody. A character rich in integrity, maturity, and the Abundance Mentality has a genuineness that goes far beyond technique, or lack of it, in human interaction. If we search deeply enough within ourselves-beyond the scripting, beyond the learned attitudes and behaviors- the real validation of Win/Win, as well as every other correct principle, is in our lives.  Relationshi...

Ways To Effectively Understand People

Key Points: There are four ways developmental stages to listening and understanding people: Mimic Content=Mimicking content is easy. You just listen to the words that come out of someone's mouth and you repeat them. You're hardly even using your brain. Rephrase the Content=This time, you have put the meaning into your own words. Reflect Feeling=Now you're not paying as much attention to what they're saying as you are to the way they feel about what they are saying. Rephrase the Content and Reflect the Feeling= Include both the second and the third stage. People want to be understood. And whatever investment of time it takes to do that will bring much greater returns of time as you work from an accurate understanding of the problems and issues and from the high Emotional Bank Account that results when a person feels deeply understood. Then Seek To Be Understood: The early Greeks used these three words to contain the essence of seeking to first understa...
