Habit 6-Synergize

As all of you know there are people in your life who shun, tolerates and celebrate diversity. So I am going to tell you one person in my life for each and each one is very close to. My step dad shuns diversity because he has never taking the time to under stand it. Between me and you I think he is scared of it to. My brother tolerates most differences because he doesn't care but at the same time he doesn't go out of his was to understand and celebrate diversity. Finally is my mom she celebrates most all diversity she does have her limits but I hope in time those limits fade away. I personally look at myself as celebrating differences I think it is vital to have them because that is how some of the best ideas are made no two people are perfectly alike but they are equal with every other person in the world. After my test of what fruit I am which is really personality test I found that I am a grape. Which means I'm good at being reflective, sensitive, flexible,creative and i work well in groups. and i have trouble with giving exact answers, focusing on one thing and my organization is out the window. To use synergy there is a little out line to help you follow it and do the right thing it goes like this. define the problem or opportunity then seek to understand then to be understood. Next is brainstorm together to create new options and ideas. Lastly is to find the high way. An  example of that is a friend and I are wanting to start a company and we have different mission statements along with different names. His is to save money for college and his name is logic where as my idea is to use organic cotton and your the profits to help others in third world countries and  I would like the name to be Tranquility. We are now in to the brainstorm part and we have come up with creating a line called Tranquility  that holds those goals, making two different companies that are sister companies that could help each other out and as one company with two divisions  We only now need to find the high way to complete the synergy. You can apply this to all of your debates to come up with something that is Win-Win. So please everyone give it a try in your life the benefits are huge.
