Leader in Me:  February Habit of the Month
Synergize:  I value other people's strengths and learn from them.  I get along well with others, even when they are different than me.  I work well in groups.I seek out other people's ideas because I know that by teaming with others, we can create better solutions than what any of us could alone.  I look for Third Alternatives.

TIP OF THE WEEK:  Celebrate each other’s differences to help create a successful environment.
