Communication Analysis
Andrew demonstrates solid communication skills in various areas. He generally communicates with clarity and conciseness, using specific statements and instructions to convey his thoughts. For example, he says things like "Guys, this is not going to work" and "We need to stop arguing and work as a team." This clarity helps facilitate understanding among the team.

Andrew also displays active listening skills by actively engaging with his teammates' ideas and responding to them thoughtfully. He acknowledges their contributions, offers support, and asks follow-up questions for clarification or further discussion. For instance, he responds to his teammate's suggestion to build a kitchen by immediately asking about the availability of prestige. This indicates that he is attentive to his teammates' input and considers their ideas.

In terms of effective questioning, Andrew demonstrates the ability to ask relevant questions that contribute to the conversation. He prompts his teammates to think and discuss certain topics, encouraging collaboration and problem-solving. For example, he asks questions like "Where do we need more olive groves?" and "What resources does a temple need?" These questions drive the discussion forward and help address specific issues or challenges.

While Andrew shows signs of empathy by expressing gratitude towards his teammates and acknowledging their contributions, there is room for growth in this area. Encouraging him to actively support and validate the contributions of his teammates would further promote a more empathetic atmosphere within the game.

Overall, Andrew demonstrates strengths in clarity and conciseness, active listening, effective questioning, and an emerging ability to display empathy and perspective-taking. With continued practice and encouragement, he has the potential to further enhance his communication skills and contribute positively to team dynamics.
