The document discusses the concept of synergy as presented in Stephen Covey's book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Synergy refers to cooperative interactions among people that create an enhanced combined effect. It involves valuing differences and seeking alternatives to find new and better solutions than could be achieved individually. Examples show how working together as a team can achieve far greater results than the sum of individual efforts. Leaders who demonstrate the habit of synergy celebrate differences and focus energy on solving problems through trust, openness and cooperation.

2. • The world has changed dramatically since The
7 Habits of Highly Effective People was first
published in 1989, by Stephen Covey.
Covey presents a step-by-step pathway for living
with fairness, integrity, service and human
dignity — principles that give you the security
to adapt to change, and the wisdom and
power to take advantage of the opportunities
that change creates.

3. Our character is basically a composite of our
habits. Because they are consistent, often
unconscious patterns, they
constantly, daily, express our character.
(Stephen Covey)

4. A reporter asked Covey: “Are the 7 Habits still
relevant today?”And, for that matter, “Will
they be relevant 10, 20, 50, 100 years from
now?”
Stephen R. Covey’s answer:
“The greater the change and more difficult our
challenges, the more relevant the habits
become.”

5. “By synergistically creating a mission
statement, it becomes engraved in the hearts
and minds of the participants”
