Assignment:

In the article titled "Groups as Systems." Zajonc states, "Synergy can take either a physical or a mental form. The physical presence of others is often arousing, so more work is accomplished. Even ants work harder when there is more than one of them on the job" (Henman, n.d., p.2). In the mental sense, synergy forms when a type of collective intelligence and shared memory begin to develop as the group matures.

Reflect on a group experience where I noticed this shift to synergy with my group. (Some ideas: at a human services agency where you work, a different occupation, serving on a committee, a group in college, etc.) I need to describe this experience as vividly as possible, with plenty of detail and analysis of as many group members (in regards to their contributions to attaining synergy) that I can recall.

I'm having a hard time coming up with a personal example of this. I would love some assistance in types of situations that would be relevant for this journal.
