1) The document discusses Stephen Covey's concept of Habit 6: Synergy from his book "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People". Synergy refers to cooperation and combined effort that results in outcomes greater than the sum of individual parts. 2) It provides examples of synergy in politics, pulling power of horses, and classroom/business settings. Synergistic communication is described as opening one's mind to new possibilities. 3) Fishing for a third alternative is presented as a creative process to resolve conflicts without compromise through fresh thinking.

5. The world has changed dramatically since The 7
Habits of Highly Effective People was first
published in 1989, by Stephen Covey.
Our character is basically a composite of
our habits. Because they are consistent,
often unconscious patterns, they constantly,
daily, express our character.

6. 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.”

7. HABIT
A habit is the intersection of knowledge, skill and desire:
• Knowledge
is the theoretical paradigm,
the what to do and the why.
• Skill
is the how to do.
• Desire
is the motivation,
the want to do.
HABIT
knowledge

8. HABIT 6: SYNERGY
 Interaction, cooperation, combined effort, give and take.
 Basically, all it means is WORKING AS A TEAM!!
 The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
 1 + 1 = 3
 Two heads are better than one.
 Synonyms:
Combined effort , team effort,
Union and work to gather.

9. EXAMPLE OF NOT Example of
SYNERGY SYNERGY
Ali: We should make our
project slides blue!
Hina: No, they should be
yellow.
Ali: Blue!
Hina: Yellow!
Ali : BLUE!
Hina: I hate you.
Ali: We should make our
project slides blue!
Hina: I think we should make
them yellow.
Ali: What if we mixed the
colors and made it yellow and
blue?
Hina: That sounds really
cool! We should do that!

10. SYNERGESTIC EFFECT
Two politicians being able to get a million voters
each, but 2.5 million together.

11. Two horses can pull about 9000 pounds.
How many pounds 4 horses can pull?

12. Arithmetic response is 18000.
Sound reasonable.
But it’s wrong.
Four horses can actually pull over
30000 pounds.
IT’S SYNERGY THAT MAKES THE
DIFFERENCE.

13. SYNERGISTIC
COMMUNICATION
Synergistic communication is opening your
mind and heart to new possibilities. It may
seem like you are casting aside "beginning
with the end in mind," but you are actually
fulfilling it by clarifying your goals and
discovering better ones.

14. Advantages Of Synergistic
Communication
Co-operation among individuals begins
to flow easily.
Inspiration level of individuals goes up.
It helps to broaden and improve
communication,
It increase individual’s efficiency.

15. Break the idols of colour and blood and become lost in
the community.
Let neither Turanians, Iranians nor Afghan remain.
By Dr. Iqbal (THE RISE OF ISLAM)

16. Synergy in Classroom
 Synergy is almost as if a group
collectively agree to subordinate old
scripts and write a new one.
 Synergy is the power of the whole versus
the part of a system working
Independently.
Sumaira’s part

17. Synergy tests in classroom
Synergy tests weather teachers and students
are really open to principle of the whole
being greater than the sum of its parts.

18. Principles for synergy

21. How it works/example

23. Synergy is:
Exciting
Creativity
phenomenal

24. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

26. Fishing for third
Alternative

27. Third Alternative
 The third alternative thinking offers a way to
resolve conflict an d disagreement without any
party feeling as if they as compromised or
given up ground.
 This is a very creative process, requiring fresh,
creative and spontaneous thinking.

28. SCENARIO:

29. LACK OF SYNERGY:

30. SOLOUTION:

31. Negative synergy
 The usual win/lose approach result in
expending negative synergy
 The heart of intrapersonal synergy is the
first three habits, which give the
internal security sufficient to handle the
risk of being open and therefore
vulnerable.
Aqeel’s part

32. Problem of highly dependent people
The problem is that highly dependent
people are trying to succeed in an
interdependent reality. They may talk
win/win technique , but they want to
manipulate others. These insecure people
need to mold others to their way of
thinking.

33. Result of Negative synergy
 Negative synergy refers to “2+2=3”effect
 The result of negative synergy is waste
time & time is money

34. Valuing Difference
 People who grow in environment
having high diversity are most
able to take advantage of the
increased productivity that can
result from collaboration.
 It is logical that two people can
disagree & that both can be right?
It’s not logical : it’s psychological.

35. Three approaches to diversity
 Diversity can be positive thing or a negative thing
depending on your perspective and background.
1. Level 1: Shun diversity - People who shun
others are afraid of differences.
-it disturbs them that someone may have different
skin color or wear a different brand of jeans.
-They are convinced by their way of life is the “best”
or “right”, or “only way”.

36. 2. Level 2: Tolerate diversity – Tolerates believe
that everyone has the right to be different.
-They don’t shun diversity but they don’t embrace it
either.
-It’s the “Don’t bother me I won’t bother you”
attitude.
3. Level 3: Celebrate diversity – Celebrators
value differences.
-We should celebrate differences.
-To celebrate diversity on every issue is actually
hard for most people.

37. Force Field Analysis
Sociologist Kurt Lewin developed a "Force Field
Analysis" model in which he described any
current level of performance or being as a
state of equilibrium between the driving forces
that encourage upward movement and the
restraining forces that discourage it.
Ather’s Part

39. Force Field Analysis
“Driving forces” generally are positive, reasonable,
logical, conscious and economic. Whereas,
“Restraining forces” are often negative, emotional,
illogical, unconscious and social/psychological. Both
sets of forces are very real and must be taken into
account in dealing with change.

40. All nature is synergistic
Ecology is a word which basically
describes the synergism in nature
everything is related to everything else.
It's in the relationship that creative
powers are maximized, just as a real
power in these seven habits

41. Conclusion
When we learn how to
apply the concepts of
Synergy, we learn to
overcome any obstacle
and problems become a
source of pleasure and
challenge.
