What real-world scenarios can illustrate the concept of synergy as described in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People?

A real-world example of synergy could be a team working on a project. Each member brings unique skills and perspectives to the table. When they collaborate and combine their skills, they can create a result that is greater than what they could have achieved individually. Another example could be in a musical band where each musician plays a different instrument. When they play together, they create a harmony that is more beautiful and complex than any instrument playing alone. These examples illustrate the concept of synergy where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Question was asked on:

Synergy: When one plus one equals three or more, when the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This habit teaches that trust and understanding in relationships can help create solutions that are often better and more beneficial than either person's original solution. It's like an even better version of "win/win" that further develops the habit of interdependence.
