Habit 6: SYNERGIZE

Creative Cooperation

SYNERGY/COLLABORATION

• Cooperative interaction among groups

• The ability to create more together than we can separately

• The knowledge that there are differences between people, and these differences are there to celebrate!

SYNERGY

• Helen Keller said, “Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much.”

SYNERGY

• By flying in formation, the whole flock can fly 71% farther than if each bird flew alone. When the goose flaps its wings, it creates an updraft for the goose that follows.

As the lead goose gets tired, he will rotate to the back of the V.

Whenever a goose flies out of formation, she immediately feels the resistance of flying alone and quickly gets back into formation.

SYNERGY

• Sequoia trees, which grow to heights of 300 feet or more, grow in clumps and share a vast array of intermingled tree roots. Without each other, they would blow over in a storm.

Let’s do a few activities which incorporate Synergy!

This makes us better and stronger!
