Synergy
(the trait of creative cooperation)
Synergy is the state in which the whole world is more than the sum of the parts. Principle-centered people are synergistic. They are change catalysts. They improve almost any situation they get into. They work as smart as they work hard. They are amazingly productive, but in new and creative ways. In team endeavors they build on their strengths and strive to complement their weaknesses with the strengths of others. They believe in others strengths and capacities.

Habit 6: Synergize
The essences of synergy is to value differencesto respect them, to build on strengths, to compensate for weaknesses. --Stephen R. Covey
Everyone has something to contribute Different viewpoints can coalesce into better solutions Respect differences - if we we all the same, then some of us would be unnecessary!
The Synergistic Assumption:

There is always a better solution which has yet to be thought of Synergize- Look for ways to take your ideas and other people's ideas and build on them together, on the basis that the outcome will be something greater than the sum of the inputs.
GROUND RULES FOR SYNERGIZING
Mental Preparation Prepare to find a solution that is better than what either person presently has in mind. Develop a win-win mentality. Believe that all parties involved will gain more insight, enthusiasm, learning, and growth by working together. Keep minds, hearts, and expressions open to new possibilities. Recognize others differing opinions, viewpoints, and perspectives as helpful when seeking solutions. Valuing the differences lets people discover things together that they would much less likely
Synergize:
The Whole IS Greater than the Sum of its Parts Synergistic Communication - OPEN YOUR Mind & Heart to New Possibilities Synergy is EXCITING ! Fish for the Alternatives Value the Differences

Habit 6: Synergize.
Animal school
Once upon a time, the animals decided they must do something heroic to meet the problems of a New World, so they organized a school. They adopted an activity curriculum consisting of running, climbing, swimming, and flying. To make it easier to administer, all animals took all the subjects. In the end, the ducks web feet were so badly worn that he couldnt swim, the rabbit had a nervous breakdown and couldnt run, the eagle was disciplined severely for getting to the top of the tree without climbing, and an abnormal eel ended up doing best overall and winning valedictorian.

Put first things first

(The trait of Personal Management)
Paul L. Gerhardt
Put first things first Define what it is that really matters in your life, then spend your time on those important things. Rather than spreading our time thinly across too many activities, concentrate on doing a few things well.
Paul L. Gerhardt
The P/PC balance

Aesops fable The Goose and the Golden Egg
A man and his wife had the good fortune to possess a goose that laid a golden egg every day. Lucky though they were, they soon began to think they were not getting rich fast enough, and, imagining the bird must be made of gold inside, they decided to kill it in order to secure the whole store of precious metal at once. But when they cut it open they found it was just like any other goose. Thus, they neither got rich all at once, as they had hoped, nor enjoyed any longer the daily addition to their wealth.

Prioritize
If I can only get one of these items done today which will I choose - this is your A1. Which items will help achieve long range and intermediate goals? Which items are urgent? Can I delegate/delete? Which of these activities affect someone else if they dont get done? Which item will give the highest return? Which item will take the least time?
Paul L. Gerhardt
Effective students

Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind

(the trait of personal leadership)
Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purposea point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.
--Mary Wollstonecraft
Paul L. Gerhardt
Individual Project:
Look at Influential people in your life and in the world. Who are they? What kind of things do YOU like to do? Who are your role models? How do they affect you? Discuss these questions with ONE partner, write your answers on a sheet of paper. Be prepared to discuss your answers in class.
Paul L. Gerhardt
Begin with the end in mind

Principles, Paradigms, and Processes An Underlying Principle Mental creation precedes physical creation. Key Paradigms I can choose my own future and create a vision of it. I will create results mentally before beginning any activity. Key Processes Create and apply personal and organizational mission statements as constitutions for daily living. Envision the desired results and important values to guide activities or endeavors.
Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind

Principle of Professional Leadership To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of your destination. It means to know where you are going so that you better understand where you are now so that the steps you take are always in the right direction.
Same Old...
"If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten." Author Unknown

Habits of Mind
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. --Aristotle
Paul L. Gerhardt
Begin With the End in Mind

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. - WALDEN, Henry David Thoreau
BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND APPLIES TO ALL AREAS OF LIFE

If you know what you want to accomplish in a meeting, you can define the purpose of the meeting, enabling the attendees to focus on and the meet the intended goals and objectives. If you want closeness and unity within the family, you can create a family mission statement and choose behavior or interaction with family members that is in line with the mission. If your family is going on vacation, discuss the purpose and keep that purpose I mind while you are vacationing. In preparing a speech, you may write down what you want the audience to do as a result of having listened to you, and keep this in perspective as youre writing the speech.
one to know what they are seeking as well as where they are going.
Building a Personal Mission statement allows
Do you know what you re looking for?

Toward what end are you working?

Each part of your life, what you are doing from day to day, can be examined in terms of the whole, what really matters to you Alternative: Coping with issues as they come up, allowing external influences to write your life script
What do you want?

From your career From your family life From your social life What you want to be What you want to do Values and principles which guide what you are and do
Paul L. Gerhardt
Life Centers
People often act as if some combination of centers were the basis of their actions None of these centers (or combinations) is complete in itself Spouse Family Work Money/Possession Friend/Enemy Church Self Pleasure
Paul L. Gerhardt
An alternative: Principlecenteredness
Not reactive Most effective decision Consistent with your ultimate values Allows one to be interdependent Can feel comfortable with decision--not ambivalent
Paul L. Gerhardt
WHATS IN A MISSION STATEMENT?
Mission StatementA powerful document that expresses your personal sense of purpose and meaning in life; it acts as a governing constitution by which you evaluate decisions and choose behaviors.
Paul L. Gerhardt
Sample Mission Statements:

Wal-Mart (1990) "Become a $125 billion company by the year 2000" Sony (1950's) "Become the company most known for changing the worldwide poorquality image of Japanese products" Boeing (1950) "Become the dominant player in commercial aircraft and bring the world into the jet age"

Sears' mission: To grow our business by providing quality products and services at great value when and where our customers want them, and by building positive, lasting relationships with our customers. Xerox Mission Statement - Our strategic intent is to help people find better ways to do great work -- by constantly leading in document technologies, products and services that improve our customers' work processes and business results. GE-Our mission is to be recognized by our customers as the leaders in applications engineering. We always focus on the activities that customers desire; we are highly motivated and strive to advance our technical knowledge in the areas of material, part design and fabrication technology.

PEPSI - "Beat Coke" HONDA - "We will crush, squash, and slaughter Yamaha" NIKE - "Crush Reebok" Walt Disney - "To make people happy." Merck - "To preserve and improve human life."
A Vision Sample:
One national organization committed to quality, providing professional services that meet the information needs of our clients and other stakeholders and providing outstanding career opportunities for our people.
A personal Mission Statement:

Encourages you to think deeply about your life Helps you examine your innermost thoughts and feelings Clarifies what is really important to you Expands your perspective Imprints self-determined values and purposes firmly in your mind Provides direction and commitment to values Enables you to make daily progress toward long-term goals (when connected to daily and weekly plans) Provides the first or mental creation of your desired results for your life
Starting your own Mission Statement

List two values which you admire Start keeping a list of notes, quotes, and ideas, which may be helpful to you in formulating what you stand for
Paul L. Gerhardt
Why do we need Goals?

Goals give you direction in all areas of your life Personal, Career, Spiritual, Material, and Contribution Goals give you a purpose in life. A reason to get up early in the morning and go to bed late at night Goals will put drive and passion into your life Not having goals is similar to sailing a ship across the Atlantic without a map. Goals, like maps, help you get to your destination much faster than sailing though life aimlessly
Paul L. Gerhardt
FIVE-MINUTE CONTINUOUS WRITING EXERCISE

(Project 5 From Handout):
Instructions: On the back of this paper or another sheet: Write for five minutes without stopping. When you cant think of anything else to write, keep your pen or pencil moving until something else comes to mind. Dont worry what it looks like. Get your thoughts down on paper.
What Are Goals?

Goals are something that you want to achieve in the future. You set goals so that you can get better at more things, aim for something in the future and achieve more during your life. Goals are the specific things, tasks or accomplishments you must complete in order to achieve the kind of life you desire.
Types of Goals
Long Term
ultimate goal
Intermediate
milestones leading to ultimate goal
Short Term
smaller steps to be completed
Paul L. Gerhardt
Example
Long Term
Become a Renown Researcher and Faculty member
Intermediate
Obtain a Ph.D.
Short Term
Graduate from UNL Gain Admittance to Graduate School
Setting Goals
First you must dream! Write your ideas down on paper and decide which ones are the most important to you. Review what you have written down on paper. Prioritize Which of these goals are most important to you, and why? On a fresh piece of paper, write down one goal at a time. Beside the heading, write down a deadline for achieving that goal. To help achieve the long term goal, set a timeline using short term goals.
Paul L. Gerhardt
Getting Started
Where are you now?
Take a current inventory. You will never know how far you have to go if you dont know where you already are.
What obstacles do you need to overcome?

Is there something that may make it difficult to achieve your goal? Be aware of the obstacle so you can make plans to overcome it. Paul L. Gerhardt LeadershipSuccess.net
Begin with the end in mind

Know Yourself
Strengths Weaknesses Likes Dislikes Passions What makes you Complete
Paul L. Gerhardt
Goals should be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely
Paul L. Gerhardt
Secrets for Achieving Your Goals

Be flexible Constantly Evaluate Your Progress Sometimes our plans change; sometimes we get sick. Be prepared to reassess and revise your goal if necessary. Never Lose Sight of Your Goal review your goals every morning when you get up and every night before you go to bed. Dont Procrastinate Procrastination is a silent killer. Understand that the only way to achieve your goals is to take action!
Paul L. Gerhardt
Secrets for Achieving Your Goals A goal can not contradict any of your other goals.
For example, you can't buy a $750,000 house if your income goal is only $50,000 per year. This is called non-integrated thinking and will sabotage all of the hard work you put into your goals. Non-integrated thinking can also hamper your everyday thoughts as well.
Paul L. Gerhardt

Write your goal in the positive instead of the negative.
Work for what you want, not for what you want to leave behind. Part of the reason why we write down and examine our goals is to create a set of instructions for our subconscious mind to carry out.
Paul L. Gerhardt

Write your goal out in complete detail.
Instead of writing "A new home," write "A 4,000 square foot contemporary with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths and a view of the mountain on 20 acres of land.
Paul L. Gerhardt

By all means, make sure your goal is high enough.
Shoot for the moon, if you miss you'll still be in the stars.
Put A Date On It - Determine when you want the goal to be completed.
Paul L. Gerhardt
The Benefits of Goal Setting

You will notice an increase in your energy level as you begin to live your life with passion the passion that having a meaningful goal will give you. You will be in control of your life and the direction you are heading. Your life does not have to be determined by fate alone. With goals, you create your destiny. Goals give you a purpose in life. A reason to get up early and go to bed late.
