Ms. Julia appears to be very happy with her current responsibilities and role as the PR Manager In-charge. She finds her work enjoyable and may be considered a “smart worker”. She is extremely organized and systematic. She gives a prime on details and is impartial when it comes to decision- making. She displays a reasonable level of commitment and zeal to her job and desires on further improving herself.

At present, Ms. Julia’s leadership skill and her confidence to play a leadership role are still under developed. Despite this deficiency however, she has a high sense of responsibility for herself and for others, which is an indication of a natural leader profile. She delegates tasks to her subordinate and values her inputs and suggestions, but still prefers to oversee an operation or a project. At present, she has only one subordinate whom she treats as a partner rather than a subordinate. She prefers to analyze every detail of a situation or dilemma before making a decision, but is also able to make “quick- snappy” decisions if necessary.

Ms. Julia believes that creativity in Public Relations is an imperative. She is aware of the great responsibility that she, along with her subordinate, have to the hotel. According to her, the other departments rely on Public Relations to creatively execute their ideas and concepts to promote their respective departments and products and so far, she has been able to satisfy their expectations.

Being in a service- oriented organization, Ms. Julia is ever mindful of the importance of customer satisfaction to the hotel’s business. In her case, however, she caters mostly to the PR needs of other departments rather than the guests and according to her she has been able to satisfy the needs of her “immediate” clients in so far as PR is concerned. The recent launching of the Internet system, which further improves Hotel Sun Jaya’s image to the public is one of the projects that resulted to high satisfaction of Ms. Julia’s immediate clients.


Ms. Julia appears to be physically fit to meet the demands and stress that is associated with her job. She is motivated by the challenges that a situation might bring and finds achievement when able to finish such challenging tasks. She prefers to have precise rules and guidelines, but is flexible enough to go beyond the protocol if the situation calls for it.
