There are five steps that you need to follow to achieve this:
· Define the problem or opportunity
· Their way (seek first to understand the ideas of others)
· My way (seek to be understood by sharing your ideas)
· Brainstorm (create new options and ideas)
· High way (find the best solution)
You can copy these steps and place them where you can refer to it often. Sean Covey said, “Synergy doesn’t just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there.”
