Synergy -- It has become a buzz word in business made popular by speakers and authors. It is a word that came to my mind yesterday when a person who is on a 'team' of mine stole from me. It wasn't a big theft - he stole a 40 cent orange. I had left it on a table and when I returned it was gone. I instinctively knew who took it so I searched him out and found him in another part of the building chomping on an orange. He denied, denied and denied but it was obvious what he had done. I didn't lash out at him - instead I thanked him for revealing his character to me in a way that only cost me 40 cents! Now I will be more careful with my wallet, and it cost me less than a dollar to learn this lesson from this man.

Later as I sat in my chair that day, reflecting, I was disappointed. Not because of the orange but because of what just happened to our team. If I allow it, this could disrupt the synergy of the entire team. Synergy occurs when a team is moving in unison. On a football field it is when a team is in complete sync and the quarterback knows exactly where all the receivers are without looking and where they will be in 2 seconds. Synergy occurs because the team has practiced over and over together, and that reputation builds trust in one another's actions. It is a beautiful thing to watch a team in the midst of synergy. Synergy is when all the components come together and 1 + 1 = 3 because of the momentum.

Success in your organization can multiply geometrically if there is synergy. The keys to maintaining synergy are: 1) selfless acts of the team members who see the team as greater than the individual, 2) practiced repetition of the desired outcome and 3) trust that comes from the previous two principles.

Synergy can be destroyed by an orange if you let it or harnessed for your success if you desire.
I stole this,did i no irecopiedto you this from Ron Whites free e-mails to me but i want to tell u synergy is one great way get things done like Jim Rohn said of Jesus "lets go do it" is the most beautiful way of geting things done.
Note that it means you should not just get anyone but the best that u trust as in article.
You should anyway check on Jim Rohn one of the greatest philosophers of our time and with his books get great inner devt and alsohelp into building an empire, making a fortune in addition to your riches.
See ya.

One day i and my friend were once again asking Ernest our carpenter friend for some change. We were always asking for them and he kept saying he was broke at the moment but on this day he said somethjing real funny but with great seed hidden within.
" God told me that i'll be rich and i believe it" he started " but i'm not in a rush to get there immediately. I'm just relaxing and waiting for this to unfold as the days or years go by".
That was a real cracker, we laughed on and on but later consdidering what he said it was true of many young people of this day. We all wanna get rich and get rich real soon.I started some unit business and like they say was counting my chickens before they were hatched- for me even before they were laid.
Like my friend said don't be in a rush in life relax and reach out for your goals, but don't stay in your comfort zone just get your goal underestimate on your plans and reach them gradually taking every hurdle as a lesson to jump higher.
Don't be like my mechanic, just kidding.
