Interdependent people can take care of their own needs, but they also recognize that a collaborative team or partnership is greater than the sum of its parts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Covey asserts that American society overvalues independence, which may come as no surprise in a nation built on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/capitalism-theory\/\">capitalism<\/a> and bootstrap ambition. In a collective admiration of independence, Covey explains that American society not only rejects dependence but also undervalues interdependence, because its emphasis on working with others appears to resemble dependence. However, <strong>while independence is a critical step in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/maturity-continuum-7-habits\/\">Maturity Continuum<\/a>, Covey insists that <em>inter<\/em>dependence is key to effectiveness<\/strong>\u2014presumably not only for you but also your community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stephen Covey&#8217;s Maturity Continuum progresses from a paradigm of dependence to independence to interdependence. As an infant, everyone is dependent; as you go through life, you have the potential to mature physically, emotionally, and intellectually; you must reach each one before you can progress to the next (but your physical paradigm may be different than your emotional paradigm and\/or your intellectual paradigm). Here is a comparison of the three paradigms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Interdependence is also critical to problem-solving in organizations, and communities. For example, while independence-oriented nationalism is on the rise, experts warn that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/21-lessons-for-the-21st-century\/chapters-7-8\">globalist approaches are necessary to tackle the biggest challenges facing our world<\/a>, including climate change, the rise of artificial intelligence, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/threat-of-nuclear-war\/\">threat of nuclear war<\/a>. And the COVID-19 pandemic reinforced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/commentaries\/detail\/a-global-pandemic-requires-a-world-effort-to-end-it-none-of-us-will-be-safe-until-everyone-is-safe\">the same lesson in starker terms<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-developing-interdependence-through-public-victories\">Developing Interdependence Through &#8220;Public Victories&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Stephen Covey, interdependence is a step up from independence (which is, in turn, is a step up from dependence). You move from dependence to independence by practicing Habits 1-3. Then, habits 4-6 build on your independence to develop interdependence through collaboration, cooperation, and communication. These are \u201cPublic Victories\u201d that improve your interactions with others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-habit-4-think-win-win\"><strong>Habit 4: Think Win\/Win<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The 7 Habits all aim to help you reach interdependence, which allows you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/reach-your-potential\/\">reach your full potential<\/a> by knowing how to <strong>work effectively with other people to achieve more than you could on your own<\/strong>. To that end, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/habit-4-think-win-win-7-habits\/\">Habit 4<\/a> explains how to approach conflicts and negotiations with a Win\/Win paradigm that aims to find a mutually beneficial solution, where everyone is happy with the decision and committed to the plan. <strong>People with the Win\/Win frame of mind value cooperation over competition and believe that there is plenty \u2014 of money, success, happiness, and good fortune \u2014 to go around.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-habit-5-listen-and-understand-the-other-first\"><strong>Habit 5: Listen and Understand the Other First<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/habit-5-seek-first-to-understand-then-be-understood-7-habits\/\">Habit 5<\/a> tackles how to have an effective interaction with someone: <strong>First work on understanding the other person\u2019s perspective, and <\/strong><strong><em>only then<\/em><\/strong><strong> help her to understand your perspective.<\/strong> This approach requires <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/empathic-listening-covey-7-habits\/\">empathic listening<\/a>, where you\u2019re listening with the intent to truly understand the other person\u2019s perspectives and concerns.
