Habit 6 for January: Synergize

I value other peoples strengths and learn from them. I get along well with others, even people who are different than me. I work well in groups. I seek out other peoples ideas to solve problems because I know that by teaming with others we can create better solutions than anyone of us can alone. I am humble.
