LEADERSHIP - Habits

 

Hi there 😍

Habit 6 - SYNERGY

Synergy in simple definition - " It means the whole is greater than the sum of its parts " - Stephen R Covey

Synergy encourage the win/win habit and the skill of Empathetic communication. The essence of Synergy is to value differences - to respect them , to build on strengths, to compensate for weaknesses " - Stephen R Covey noted.

Levels of communication

🤝 Synergetic (win/win)

🤝 Respectful (Compromise)

🤝 Defensive ( Win/lose or Lose/win )

The highest level of communication comes from synergy. Synergistic communication is very effective.  Synergy encourage empathetic communication. 

Respectful communication lead to compromise. " The communication isn't defensive or protective or angry or manipulative ; it is honest and genuine and respectful" - Stephen R Covey.

Defensive communication is the lowest level of communication which is usually accompanied by low-trust - defensiveness, protectiveness, and often Legalistic language. This kind of communication will only lead to Win/lose, Lose/win, or  Lose/lose
