What are roadblocks to synergy?
The most basic meaning of synergy is when TWO or more people worked
together in order to create a solution that is much better than what either
person could have done by themselves. IT IS NOT YOUR WAY OR MY WAY IT
IS THE HIGH WAY. Synergy is the reward of working together as means to
properly achieving a high goal. Synergy works when you think Win- Win and
when you seek first to understand.

There are three main profiles. They include Shunners, Tolerators, and Celebrators.
Shunners: People that are scared of differences. Things like like different skin colors,
different religions, or even different clothes make them uncomfortable. They believe
their way is the best the only right way.
Tolerators: They believe that everyone has the right to be different. Their motto is dont
bother me and I wont bother you.
Celebrators value difference. They believe that difference spark creativity and
opportunity. They believe differences lead to advantages.
THE VACATION
Dad: I dont care how you feel. Youre going on this vacation whether
you like it or not. We've had this planned for months, and its important
that we spend some time together as a family.
You: But I dont want to go. I want to be with my friends. Ill miss out
on everything.
Mom: I dont want you staying here by yourself. Id worry the whole
time and it would ruin my vacation. We want you with us.
Define the Problem or Opportunity
In this, we have a problem. Its this:
My parents want me to vacation with the family, but I would
rather stay home and go out with my friends.
