Hi Xinlv,
On the journey to make any team you¡¯re on better, you¡¯ll practice how to effectively communicate with everyone. Last week, our student-led Discussion sessions asked you to assemble a team from a pool of talented candidates. Each scenario presented a unique set of roles crucial to the company's success, but there was a catch - you could only hire a limited number. Each decision came with consequences, prompting you to reconsider your choices. This session asked you to make thoughtful decisions on policies regarding employee satisfaction and remote work policies. You were introduced to the actual challenges that companies such as Best Buy and Goldman Sachs have encountered. How did your choices compare to the solutions implemented by these real-world companies?
Here¡¯s some feedback on how you used your voice in the Discussion Sessions you attended last week:

Communication Analysis
Xinlv, you spoke very minimally during the Discussion Sessions you attended this week, with only a few interjections and short phrases. Due to this, we are unable to offer you a comprehensive analysis of your strengths and areas for growth in communication. We encourage you to more actively participate and communicate with your team in upcoming Discussion Sessions so that we are able to provide you with insights about your communication skills. If you are unsure what to say, we would encourage you to ask your teammates questions to learn more about how they voted and what they think. You could also volunteer to read some of the slides aloud for your team. We hope to see you in a Discussion Session soon!
Anyone who knows how to make any team they¡¯re on better is able to keep improving their skills and correcting their errors.
After reading your feedback, come up with 1 main, specific goal of how you¡¯ll improve your communication in this week's Discussion Sessions. Feel free to reply to this email and let us know what that goal is. This week, you will be asked to rank various options based on an analysis of the costs and benefits of 5 scenarios. If you attend, we¡¯ll give you feedback on how you¡¯ve progressed in using your voice after incorporating this email¡¯s insights.
