Question
Interdependence is a key concept in 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People'. It refers to the idea that individuals are not isolated entities, but rather, they are interconnected and their actions can significantly impact others. In the context of the book, interdependence is seen as a higher value than independence because it allows for synergy, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This means that by working together, individuals can achieve more than they could on their own. It's an advanced form of 'win/win' situation where the outcome is not just beneficial for the individuals involved but also creates a better solution overall.
