Habit 6: Highly Effective Practice
Value Differences
Valuing differences is the foundation of creating synergy. We are effective when we value and embrace the differences of others rather than rejecting or merely tolerating them. We see others’ differences as strengths not weaknesses.
COMMON PRACTICE
Reject or tolerate differences.
Think About...
- · Do you know the unique strengths of the people you work and live with?
- · In which relationships do you merely tolerate differences rather than value them?
- · Have differences become a source of conflict in any of your relationships?
Try This...
- · Identify someone you disagree with and make a list of his or her strengths.
- · When someone disagrees with you, say, “Great! You see things differently. I need to listen to you.”
From the 7 Habits Book
“Insecure people have a high need to clone others, to mold them over into their own thinking. They don’t realize that the very strength of the relationship is in having another point of view. Sameness is uncreative—and boring. The essence of synergy is to value differences—to respect them, to build on strengths, to compensate for weaknesses.”
