However, what if there were a way to even further enrich and strengthen our communication and interactions?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s what\u2019s behind <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Habit #6: Synergize<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Synergy brings into focus the old adage that \u201ctwo heads are better than one.\u201d Instead of merely striking a compromise, synergy allows us to creatively collaborate with others and find new solutions to problems. The essence of synergy is to value and respect our differences, build on strengths, and compensate for weaknesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In SCVi Charter School culture, when learners are incorporating this habit into their lives, they\u2019re learning to work in groups and building and reinforcing a mind-set that says, \u201cI get along well with others \u2014 even people who are different from me.\u201d That lays the foundation to a long-lasting collaborative approach to life in a multicultural and interdependent world.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a couple of helpful steps to know if you\u2019re in synergy:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have a change of heart.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You feel new energy and excitement.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You see things in a new way.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You feel that the relationship has transformed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You end up with an idea or a result that&#8217;s better than what either of you started with.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most important keys to synergizing is learning to trust, and that trust is built through communication.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take, for example, these three levels of communication and the associated levels of trust:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Defensive communication comes out of low-trust situations. It\u2019s characterized by defensiveness, protectiveness, and legalistic language that prepares for the eventuality that things may go wrong, and that people may become resentful. Such communication isn\u2019t effective and produces only win\/lose or lose\/lose outcomes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Respectful communication is characterized by honesty, authenticity, and respect that produces a low form of win\/win, a compromise where one plus one equals one-and-a-half.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Synergistic communication means that one plus one may equal 8, 16, or even 1,600. The situation produced is better than any originally proposed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we learn to see our individual differences as strengths instead of weaknesses, we are well on our way to learning to synergize.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Join us next week as we explore the seventh and final habit:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/ileadsantaclarita.org\/news\/exploring-scvi-charter-school-culture-habit-7-of-the-7-habits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sharpen the Saw<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information on the 7 Habits and other leadership resources, <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.franklincovey.com\/the-7-habits.html\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">click here<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to visit the FranklinCovey website.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor\u2019s Note: This is one in a series of articles on the pillars of SCVi Charter School\u2019s educational philosophy and approach.&nbsp; Whether in the<span class=\"more-link\">&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/ileadsantaclarita.org\/news\/exploring-scvi-charter-school-culture-habit-6-of-the-7-habits\/\">Read More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[530,550],"class_list":["post-36227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-scvi-charter-school","tag-the-7-habits"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 -
