Week 5 and 6: Habit 5-“Seek first to understand then to be understood.” Habit 6- “ Synergize.”Week 5 “Seek first to understand then to be understood.” It is true that most of the time, we forgot to listen to others, but only focused on expressing or prepare to express our own ideas or thinking. I have learned that only to listen to others, knowing others’ needs will reach the level of “win-win”, otherwise, missing or not paying attention to others’ needs will turn the “win-win” situation to “win-lose” or “lose-lose.”
For teaching my GS girls. I’m thinking about having them play a game of “telephone”, it’s a game that the 7 girls line up, I will talk to the first girl something, then the first girl needs to talk to the second girl what I said, until the last one. Then the last one will need to tell me what I said in public. From this game, I will compare and let them understand the important of really paying enough attention to listen to others and their needs. We will also do some skits to help them understand how to listen to other people’s voice and reach “win-win”. I also plan to have them draw with another girl and reach the level of “listening and expressing their idea”, during this process, they need to work together and understand each other’s idea before they start drawing their shared picture. Week 6 “ Synergize.” Synergies means when working with others, I see and value the difference in others, I seek for a third alternatives and achieve better solutions. So when working in groups, let’s get creative and find the best way. I plan to increase the time I worked with the GS girls for the week 5 activity and extend to week 6 idea at the same time. During their drawing time, I will encourage them to think about creative ways and best ways of working together. I would encourage them to try different cooperation style such as take turns, using the talking sticks, having different jobs, etc. I expect them to give me different thoughts after this activity, and understand the meaning of “synergize.”
