Communication Analysis
Wei exhibits a mixed set of communication skills throughout the various game sessions. In terms of clarity and conciseness, Wei's communication style is often fragmented and lacks clarity, making it challenging for teammates to fully understand his intentions or ideas. For example, he frequently uses short phrases like "Oh," "No fish," and "I know" that lack context and specificity. However, there are instances where he communicates with more clarity and concise language, such as when he explains the need to get rid of buildings to stay within the limit.

Active listening is an area where Wei shows room for improvement. He can be quick to dismiss or interrupt his teammates' suggestions without fully acknowledging or considering them. While there are instances where he engages with his teammates' ideas and responds appropriately, such as expressing excitement or acknowledging their contributions, there is a need for consistent active listening throughout the sessions.

Wei's effective questioning skills are limited, as he rarely asks questions that significantly enhance the conversation or elicit further discussion. Most of his interactions consist of statements and brief responses, lacking an inquisitive approach or a genuine desire to gather new information or perspectives. He could benefit from incorporating more open-ended and thought-provoking questions to stimulate deeper discussions and promote team collaboration.

While Wei does not consistently demonstrate empathy or actively encourage an inclusive environment, there are instances where he shows signs of understanding and valuing his teammates' contributions. For instance, he acknowledges their efforts and expresses belief in their abilities. However, there is room for improvement in actively considering and promoting empathy towards his teammates' experiences and perspectives.

Overall, Wei's communication skills show potential but could benefit from improvement in areas such as clarity and conciseness, active listening, effective questioning, and fostering empathy and inclusivity within the team environment. By practicing active listening, being more intentional with questions, and showing empathy towards teammates, Wei can further enhance his communication and contribute more effectively to team dynamics.
