Haoran's most recent reflection achievement
As you continue sensemaking and learning our newest game, Ducks Amok, scenarios will become more complex, and choices will become more difficult. For example, the more cards your team plays on a duck, the stronger your control. However, the more cards you use to control a duck, the less cards you¡¯ll have left later. We also see this balancing act in the real world ¡ª attracting and keeping talent in businesses, investing time into relationships to keep them strong ¡ª so this week is not just a game, it¡¯s also practice for life.

Teams Mission Brief for more details.

You¡¯ve been around Synthesis Teams long enough to know that good
communication means more than just talking to your teammates.
It¡¯s about being thoughtful in the
way we communicate: using
teammates¡¯ names, being clear and specific, and asking clarifying
questions. It¡¯s about speaking up
and responding to others.
This month, we¡¯ll take a closer look at these important aspects of
teamwork as we examine your
productive communication skills.
I'm sorry, it seems there was no information provided about the user's communication performance during the session. If you could share observations or specific quotes from the session, I would be happy to offer an analysis of his teamwork skills, focusing particularly on productive communication.
Observations based on your participation in game sessions in 3 of the past 4 weeks
On your journey to make any team you join better, you'll practice how to effectively communicate with everyone. Our Discussion sessions are carefully designed to provide opportunities for you to practice these critical communication skills in various ways.
Last week's theme was
"Fallback Positions." When we make decisions, we hope things will go according to plan. But when they don¡¯t, we need ¡°fallback positions,¡± second- and third-level contingencies. Last week, you examined scenarios with three options. You didn't just choose ¡°the best¡± ¡ª you also arranged your two fallbacks. Why? Because getting in this habit isn¡¯t just helpful at Synthesis. It¡¯s a healthy habit for the rest of your life.
Communication in Discussions Sessions

Reflection for Haoran: How can you contribute to balanced communication with your team in Discussions?
Productive communication and effective teamwork go hand in hand. Because you were unable to attend a Discussion session last week, we can¡¯t provide a current analysis of your strengths and areas for growth in your communication skills. To ensure our feedback is timely and relevant, we focus on your most recent conversations during Discussions.
In Discussion sessions, you¡¯ll learn how to craft an educated opinion and express it civilly to peers from around the globe. We encourage you to attend upcoming sessions so we can help you develop your communication skills further.
This week¡¯s theme is ¡°How to Win Friends and Influence Ducks.¡± Dale Carnegie wrote How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. This week, nearly 90 years later, we return to key concepts of the book ¡ª respect, authenticity, and dealing with mistakes ¡ª to see if things have changed, or remained constant.
Join us this week for an interesting conversation with other bright kids from around the world.
Anyone who's on the path toward becoming a Supercollaborator is able to keep improving their skills and making course corrections. We look forward to seeing you at future sessions, and we'll continue giving you feedback on your teamwork and communication skills.
