Stephen Covey emphasizes that true transformation occurs when we move beyond mere compromises and collaboratively create solutions that exceed everyone's expectations. Synergy involves combining strengths to produce outcomes greater than the sum of individual contributions. For example, during the Apollo 13 crisis, astronauts and mission control synergized to devise an innovative solution that saved lives. Covey asserts, “The 3rd Alternative is not a compromise—it’s a new reality that delights both sides.” By embracing synergy, we open the door to breakthroughs that were previously unimaginable. | Stephen R.
