For my marketing plan assignment, our group did analysis on Zara. Not like other groups, our group had only three people. For the first two parts of the assignment, we did not have much trouble getting through. We shared ideas of how to carry out the each part at the meeting after class. We mostly did individual work at home sharing and communicating through Facebook. I was little bit frustrated with the way we did it. I wanted to have more ongoing and face to face discussion with my teammates. However, my team was not interested in having too many and frequent meetings.
The real problem rose when the time came for assignment 3. Our team struggled outlining what we want and how we should execute the plans. Our groups nature of having short meeting continued. When one of the other guys did not show up for the class, we were not able to discuss anything on that day. We left it till the very last end and we had to hand in the project without being getting close to my satisfaction. I tried to make other people put more effort but they were simply disinterested in.
Looking back from now, I think I should have took a leader role when other members looked not interested in the project. I think because we left it till the very end, we just wanted to get over with the video and that even held us back.
Next time, if I face a similar situation, I would take more responsibility and start to plan ahead.
