You must read the following case study before answering questions 2–4:
“Lost in Translation: Navigating Barriers to Listening and Communication
Styles in a Hybrid Team” Saim Waqas, a junior marketing coordinator at
Accenture Accounting, was born with a severe hearing impairment. He has
only 20% hearing in his right ear and 10% in his left ear. He, therefore, relies
on hearing aids, lip-reading, captioned video calls, and written
communication to participate in workplace interactions. Saim’s team recently
began a high-pressure marketing campaign for a high-profile client. The
project is coordinated through a hybrid format: • Weekly in-person meetings
in the office • Daily updates via group chat on Microsoft Teams •
Brainstorming sessions on video calls with screen sharing • Document
collaboration in Google Workspace From the outset, Saim encountered
several communication challenges: • In video meetings, some colleagues
failed to switch on their cameras or position themselves clearly, making lip-
reading impossible. Others spoke while muted or during screen sharing,
preventing Saim from following along. • In group chats, colleagues posted
multiple quick messages without tagging him, making it difficult to follow the
conversation thread, while some colleagues posted emoticons that Saim
could not understand. • In-person meetings often became fast-paced, with
overlapping speech and limited turn-taking. Moreover, background sounds
such as the buzzing of the projector and air conditioner caused interference
in Saim’s hearing aids, resulting in severe headaches. • Technical jargon and
unexplained acronyms were used in both verbal and written exchanges,
which intensified the challenges the Saim experienced. Team members’
communication styles added complexity: • Priya is an open communicator,
readily sharing updates and asking questions, but sometimes overshares
personal matters, which others find distracting. • Andre is a blind
communicator, confident in his clarity but often unaware that his rushed
