Extensions:
I am not really sure what to do about this... criticizing, complaining, comparing, competing... well they all have negative effects on synergy.
criticizing is not good any time, and it damages people's relationships
complaining is really annoying, because complaining about other's ideas isn't synergy, because you aren't excepting others opinions.
comparing isn't good either, because synergy is about putting together ideas, and not trying to see who's ideas are better.
Competing is definitely not good. What's the boint of working together if you are going to go against each other?
Family Reflections:
Choose a recent decision you and your family made that had everyone's input. Did you synergize or compromise?
A recent decision might be deciding whether I should quit figure skating or not (that was a few months ago, but my family doesn't really make huge decisions) We compromised, because I didn't want to quit skating, but my mom was worried that I wouldn't have enough time to do homework in highschool, and I thought thta was a reasonable reason too. So I said that if I quit skating, then they should give me more time on the computer (since I had more time to do work) and yea... it wasn't really a compromise, but the choice was one or the other, so I didn't have much to say. Whoever had the better reasoning won I guess.
