Credibility, an Exchange for Lasting Synergy and Leverage
I was once a student of history and philosophy of science and there used to be two philosophical logics that caught my interest so well...they were Modus Ponens & Modus Tollens. Modus Ponens says "If P implies Q, given P therefore we can conclude Q. Modus Tollens says "If P implies Q; if not Q we can therefore conclude it's not P. This looks so familiar to the teachings of the holy book which says "One will chase a Thousand and Two will chase Ten Thousand". Yes that's where I am going! Synergy and Leverage!
If 1= 1000 and 2 = 10,000; therefore anytime 2people do not come together, they already lost 9,000 which is over 80% of what was possible. Two are better than one because they will always have a great reward for their labour. What you can't do alone, try to look for patnerships to get it done.Synergy has always been the creation of a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.It is the cooperative interaction among groups or people that creates an enhanced combined effect. It is wisdom for you to always look out for kindred spirits with whom you can work as a force to produce beyond what you alone can achieve.
One way to enjoy the rewards of synergy is to leverage.You can actually use various financial instruments or borrowed capital, such as margin, to increase the potential return on your investment.When you seek a particular level of debt as an instrument to finance your company's asset, what you have just done is leverage. You are saying it is better for me to use a wheel barrow to carry 30tubers of yam once and for all in the Mile 12 Lagos market than to use my two hands to carry them over and over again. This costs more time and effort. I was taught in my financial management class that you need a combination of debt and equity to make a perfect capital structure. There is a limit to which equity alone can get when it comes to playing the game at the big level. Many wise institutions in the business world have always used leverage to generate shareholder wealth.
However, to sustain synergy and leverage and make it work for you in the long term, you have to trade it with a means of exchange called credibility. To attract quality patnerships or get geared by way of borrowing, you must be credible. If you can't go to the bank and be given credit, it means you are not credible. Your credibility is a measure of how much credit others are willing to offer you. How credible are you in relationships and other interactions. You might just be digging a hole in your future pocket if this is missing in your life and business endeavours.
It is therefore logical to say if 1 = 1,000 and 2 = 10,000, given 10,000 we can conclude that it must be more than 1. That is synergy. "If 10,000 requires 6,000 + 4,000 and you only have 4,000, given credibility, you can leverage to get 6,000 to make it up.If 6,000 + 4,000 = 10,000; if there is no 4,000 therefore there will be no 10,000. The missing 4,000 is the credibility gap. Find it!
