Group project

In my marketing class we just had a 20 page group project due last week. This was a perfect situation for someone to step up as a leader for the group, so I took that challenge. To receive this position of being the leader I made myself the first one to take action in the group. I took it on myself to call everyone in the group and set up our first meeting so we could get started on the project. By doing this the others in my group realized that I was dedicated to this project and hence looked up to me to lead us to get it done. As a result of being the one to set up to meeting everyone looked to me to have a plan of how to accomplish the project. I accepted this goal and assigned certain people to certain parts of the project. After I did this I asked if anyone thought that these parts were not separated fairly. By doing this I allowed for others to put their own input in on how they thought the parts should be split up so no one would be unhappy. This made it feel like it was more of a group decision on how we were to do the project. In the end we put together a great project which we received a good grade on and everyone in my group was very happy with how everything worked out.
