Hi Zhengyang,

On the journey to make any team you¡¯re on better, you¡¯ll practice excellent behaviors that enhance your teamwork. The Synthesis Mission Brief contains your teamwork challenge for this week. Your teams will explore how the little decisions you make early in the game can have major impacts later on--a concept known as 'compounding effects.' You'll have to coordinate as you fight the blight in this week's game: Proxima.

You've attended Play in 3 of the last 3 weeks. Here¡¯s some feedback on your teamwork in that time:
You use your pops to build structures 37% of the time.
How does it impact your team when your pops aren't actively building?
You complete 74% of your attempted passes.
How well are you coordinating with your teammates?

If you notice that some of your teamwork data is missing or showing at 0%, it is because you have yet to attend and participate in recent PLAY sessions for this game. We look forward to providing you with updated teamwork data as you attend more sessions in the future.

Teamwork Analysis
Zhengyang, the graphs above show different ways that you have contributed to and coordinated with your teams in the various games. In addition to that data, here are some observations about your participation and communication within your teams: You show a clear willingness to participate in team activities, often joining in conversations with enthusiasm. For example, you said, "Let's go, come on, let's go," which demonstrates your eagerness to get involved. You also acknowledge your teammates regularly, showing your awareness of the group's dynamics. However, sometimes your contributions could be more consistent and proactive. Consider trying to take more initiative by offering specific ideas or asking questions that guide the team's actions. Instead of saying, "Is this good?" you might try saying, "Can we try doing this differently to improve our strategy?" This approach can help your team by providing clear and actionable suggestions. Your communication has moments of helpfulness, like when you directed your team with, "You can just wait there." This type of specific instruction shows you understand the game well. However, there are also times when your comments could be clearer and more aligned with the team's objectives. A useful strategy could be to share more detailed thoughts and consistently build on your teammates' ideas. For example, instead of just saying, "What's happening?" you might ask, "How can we best coordinate our actions to win?" By asking detailed questions and providing more context, you can help foster better collaboration and improve your team's performance. Keep being engaged, and think about how your words can drive the team's goals forward.
