SYNERGY IN BUSINESS

I enjoyed one particularly meaningful synergistic experience as i worked with my associates to create the corporate mission statement for our business.Almost all members of the company went high up into the mountains where,surrounded by the magnificence of nature,we began with a first draft of what some of us considered to be an excellent statement
At first the communications was respectful,careful and predictable.But as we began to talk about the various alternatives,possibilities and opportunities ahead,people became very open and authentic and simply started to think out load.The mission statement agenda gave way to a collective free association,a spontaneous piggybacking of ideas.People were genuinely empathic as well as courageous,and we moved from mutual respect and understanding to creative synergistic communication
evyone could sense it.It was exciting.As it matured,we returned to the task of putting the evolved collective vision into words,each of which contains specific and committed to meaning for each participant.
The synergistic process that led to the cretion of our mission statement engraved it in the hearts and mind of everyone there,and it has served us well as a frame of reference of what we are about,as well as what we are not about.
