STEP #6

Synergize

Based on the work of Stephen Covey.


I value other people’s strengths and
learn from them. I get along well
with others, even people who are
different from me. I work well in
groups. I seek out other people’s
ideas to solve problems. I know
that “two heads are better than
one”. I am a better person when I
let other people into my life and
work.
