S   Situation   
Recently I was part of a group project in my Organizational Communications class.  We had an assignment to design an effective public relations campaign for a fictitious company.

T   Task   
We chose to market a bank that was opening a new office in a small community.  We had to come up with a marketing plan and media kit designed to introduce the company to its new community and to solicit new bank customers.

A   Action   
As the project team leader, I set up an appointment with the Director of Marketing at XYZ Bank and got her insight on the project.  After the meeting, I came up with a creative marketing plan, which was enthusiastically received by the other group members.  I then assigned each group member a particular task, based on his or her area of expertise.  For example, one member of our group was responsible for designing the bank’s logo and another member was responsible for writing a press release.  I monitored the group’s progress to make sure we were meeting our deadlines and also put together a strong oral presentation to make to the class.

R   Result  

The project was fun and allowed me to develop the management skills necessary to lead a very diverse group of six people.  The most rewarding part was that our group received the highest marks in the class, and the professor currently uses our project materials as an example for his classes
