Welcome back to The Unlimited Potential Show! This is the continuation of our series based on Stephen R. Covey’s “The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People”. For over the past 30 years, this book has remained in the top 10 selling books for business and leadership. This book is widely considered the best and most influential leadership and business book of the 20th century.
With high praise like that there’s no way, we couldn’t check this out for ourselves! After diving in, we knew this couldn’t be just one episode. This book is profound and chalked full of wisdom that we are dedicating an episode to each individual habit. Hit play to join our conversation into habit number 6, the habit of synergizing!
You may relate to this, have you ever been a part of a team, where everything seems to flow effortlessly throughout the project? That feeling of knowing without a doubt, that what you came up with together is better than anything you could have done individually. That is the feeling of synergy, and today you’ll learn all about how you can create an environment where synergy is always present.
Join us in one of the most interesting episodes of this series, as we unpack the principles and practical tips to make synergy a regular part of your life. We talk about learning from some of the best coaches in the world and how they were able to forge an unbreakable bond that lead their teams to championships again and again. You’ll learn what it takes to create an environment that fosters new and opposing ideas without causing personal conflict, as well as the value and innovation you can find within differing views.
Remember these habits build upon each other, to master this habit requires mastery of the first five habits. If you haven’t listened to the earlier episodes in this series, we encourage you to check them out and come back to this one later. The only way to succeed is to have a good foundation!
