"(Situation) This past semester, nearing the end of my Biological Sciences course, we were required to complete a group project. Group members were assigned rather than chosen. Then, the professor asked each group to create a strategy to solve a related issue of our choice. It was challenging to get all team members' input and come up with a topic that was meaningful to everyone. (Task) I saw the opportunity to take on the role of a leader and help guide the group to a decision. (Action) I took the position of team lead and was able to get every member of my team to contribute to the conversation in a way that made them feel comfortable and still promoted their active engagement. (Result) We agreed on the topic, and the team collaboration was quite smooth throughout the project. The outcome was a research paper that made the team feel very proud. We received an exceptional grade, and my peers complimented me on my natural leadership abilities and strong communication skills."
