Synergy Definition

I am jotting down some quotes from Covey that resonate with "diversity"--an effort which, up till now, I have tried to model mainly at IBM, and which with my retirement shortly I will do more in the Rochester community:

Synergy means that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

And,

The essence of synergy is to value differences--to respect them, to build on strengths, to compensate for weaknesses.
