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...

Are You A Gap Filler?

 What is Gap Filler You May Ask?  A gap filler is someone who has the ability and awareness to see opportunities and challenges around them, then fill them.  When there is a gap in communication, someone has to fill the void.  When there is a gap in leadership, someone has to fill the void.  When there is a gap in love, someone has to fill the void. When there is a gap in work, someone has to fill the void. It is self-explanatory to understand that a gap filler, fills gaps.  It is also very easy to misunderstand the importance and strength it takes to be a gap filler. Practically this looks like covering a shift of another co-worker, looks like overcommunicating to others that may bring conflict upon yourself, taking the burden of hurt from others and their trama, as well as taking the blame knowingly when another leader falls short. This is a heavy burden sometimes because you have to be the glue that holds seemingly everything together. But, take heart, b...

A Dream Within a Dream

Summary:  In the second chapter of Chase the Lion,  we come to the Wright brothers and how they had a dream that was actually inspired by there dads interest in birds. They later came to be the first humans to fly.  Inception is another topic in how we are to perceive our dreams. Inception is a dream within a dream within a dream, in our non-fiction life we can look and see that as a sign that our dream necessarily doesn't come from us. God can expose our dreams to us through other individuals.  For the Wright brothers, it was a book they read when they were 29. It could be your parents, teachers, or coaches dream. It comes down to how you interact with other people, life is about relationships you never know who may plant a dream in you that is waiting to be revealed.  Our greatest legacy isn't our dream. Our greatest legacy is the next generation of dreamers that out dreams inspire--the dreams within a dream. The energy we spend on cr...
