2. Student will demonstrate personal, HDF 190 Quarantine Self-discipline is the ability for one to control their feelings and overcome their weaknesses along with
organizational, and academic `examples doing what they believe is right for them despite temptations. Personal self-discipline occurs daily for
of self-discipline me. Currently, I am in quarantine and my main self-discipline includes staying active. It is so easy for
me to fall into the trap of many apps like Tik Tok, Twitter and Instagram; along with streaming services
like netflix and hulu, I could sit on the couch all day and indulge. However, I know that this would be so
bad for my health. Despite these temptations to indulge all day every day, me and my sister together
work out every single day. I also walk my dog with my family at least 5 times a week. I find that doing
active things with those I love makes it easier to follow through with my self-discipline. An
organizational example of self-discipline that I demonstrate is strict use of my agenda/planner. With
online classes, organization is extremely important for success. Every week I map out every
assignment I have to complete, along with what I have to do each day to maintain time management. It
is very easy to just stop using my planner and “wing” all of my tasks. However, I know that to get good
grades I need to maintain this practice of self discipline. An academic example of self discipline
involves balancing my social life and academics. Often at school, I will have an assignment due at
midnight and my friends will want to hang out. I practice self discipline by not giving in to hang out with
them, and finish my assignment before it is due. Usually I finish it in time and am able to get some
social time in, but if I cannot I know it is extremely important to my self discipline to finish my
assignment first. Once I begin to give in to temptations, I know it will be much harder to maintain my
self discipline. (See evidence #8)
3. Student will demonstrate the ability to HDF 190 Quarantine During quarantine, it is especially difficult to remain optimistic. The lack of daily
manage emotions routine and social interaction can easily bring my worst emotions out. However,
staying active, keeping up with school work, keeping in touch with friends and family
and doing things that make me happy in quarantine are key to managing my
emotions. I recognize that it is okay to feel emotions like sadness, but it is hard for
me to get out of sad mindsets especially in this kind of environment. Doing the
activities I mentioned before keeps me happy and healthy and makes it much easier
to manage emotions. When I do feel stressed or sad, I can take breaks. Doing
school work can make me stressed and angry sometimes so I like to split up my
academic time with walking my dog or TV time. These breaks give me time to
destress and continue my schoolwork clearly and level headed which makes me
more successful. When I am feeling down about the current situation I like to listen
to my favorite music and call my friends. This quickly cheers me up and reminds me
of the importance of this quarantine. Although it is easy to remain pessimistic,
thinking about the safety of my loved ones can remind me of the good things. The
key to managing my emotions is recognizing when I need a break and allowing
myself to take it. (See evidence #8)

stress management methods

42 Student will describe personal application HDF 190 work Personal application of the Relational Leadership Model includes personal
of the above theory (Komives et al) observation of a leader in my life and how they could have led in a manner more in
.
accordance with the model. An example of a leader not acting in accordance with
the components of the Relational Model of Leadership that I have personally
observed, is my previous manager at my old job. I used to work at a pet store with
one manager supervising all of the employees. Because Tim was unable to follow
the relational leadership model, it was hard for me and the fellow employees to give
him the respect he needs to lead a successful business. It started out with his
disregard for knowing, being and doing. He was never able to be aware of other
perspectives and take feedback from other employees. For example, if I were to call
out sick for a legitimate illness, he was not empathetic and would tell me to work it
out completely on my own. If I was not able to find coverage, I had to go into work
regardless of how I was feeling. This lack of ability to empathize with me directly
correlated to a lack of respect back to him. I did not feel respected so I could not
respect him back. The model includes five main points: inclusive, empowering,
purposeful, ethical and process-oriented. Inclusivity is the ability to make people feel
safe and comfortable enough in an environment to be themselves. Tim did not
create a safe and comfortable environment. Me and my co-workers often discussed
how we could not wait until he would leave the store so we felt we could truly be
ourselves and interact/help customers to the best of our ability. He fostered an
unhealthy environment that inhibited our ability to do our job to our full effort.
Empowerment is the next aspect. It includes creating a space where all members of
the group feel valued and heard. Since Tim was not able to establish a “set of
environmental conditions that promote the full involvement of participants” starting
with inclusivity, it was impossible to empower all of us (116). No one felt as if their
thoughts went into helping the business move forward. There was also no way that
Tim’s feedback was the only input that he and his boss, Larry, needed to allow the
business to flourish. Because no one felt heard, no one felt valued there either. This

97 Student will create a personal code of HDF 190 Leadership Institute In HDF 190 we learned about what it takes to be an inclusive leader. An inclusive
inclusive leadership leader is one who truly takes everyone’s ideas and perspectives into account when
.
making group decisions. The inclusive leader uses everyone’s talents and makes
everyone in the group feel as though they belong. Often in groups, relationships can
form that can ostracize others and make them feel like they are a less important
asset to the group. This is when the inclusive leader steps in and makes everyone
feel heard and as though they belong in this group. Two of my top strengths are
includer and empathy. I feel as though these two strengths create my personal code
of inclusive leadership. The fact that I am an includer will make it easy for me to
address everyone and make everyone feel like they belong in the decision making of
the group despite background or prior relationships. My empathy will be
advantageous as this will help me to use the various backgrounds and perspectives
in the group to help the group’s success. With a breadth of perspectives comes a
breadth of ideas. By utilizing every person in the group, more ideas and creativity will
flow to get to our goal. Leadership Institute was a place where I truly saw inclusive
leadership in action. This foundation helped to create my personal code. Every
single peer leader made me feel as though I was a part of this huge group despite
feeling as if I did not know anyone. If I was ever sitting alone, it was not for long, etc.
They also ensured that everyone was heard, whether it was through sitting in circles
or splitting up into smaller groups so that we could effectively share. My experiences
at leadership institute definitely helped to shape the two of my strengths which
outline my personal code. (See evidence #11)

decision making methods my research, I found 5 decision making methods to be: voting, ranking, scoring,
.
multiple votes and voting rounds and iterative convergence. The first method,
voting, is just having members of the group vote for a decision. Votes can be raised
Leadership Inventory Revised 08/22/2017 24
hands, casting ballots, etc. and then taking the majority’s decision. The only
problem is, if the voting is not done anonymously, you can run the risk of peer
influence. People could vote to “fit in” instead of voting for what they truly believe in.
In my sorority, at chapter meetings when we make decisions for rule changes,
sister of the week, etc. we always put our heads down so everyone can vote for
what they think is right without the influence of others. The next method is ranking.
Ranking allows the group to vote, and allows the opinions of others to be more
heard. It shows where the group's opinions lie instead of dividing the group into
their top decisions. The third method is scoring. Scoring provides another in depth
method to see where the group’s opinions lie. The group would evaluate the
characteristics of the decisions which could even help you come up with a better
decision to fit the group better. Method 4 is multiple votes and voting rounds. It
would allow the decision with the most votes to move on to further rounds until one
decision is chosen. This method provides a way for the group to vote without
restriction, especially if they favor more than one decision. The final method is the
iterative convergence method. This method allows decisions to be altered based on
the group. Members will write in decisions and then members will anonymously
provide feedback. This feedback will change the decisions to better comply with the
rest of the group and eventually lead to one decision made for the group. (See
evidence #14)

and accepting feedback. Tour Guide semester. Our semester project is a summary of a scientific article. We had to write
. Dance a draft and submit it to elireview, an online peer editing site. On this site we had to
review 3 of our classmates’ papers and receive feedback on our own. Giving
feedback on other papers allowed me to recognize good and bad things that I had
done in my paper. I then received feedback on my paper to help me better revise it.
Feedback in this instance was very constructive and both giving it and receiving it
benefitted my paper and my grade.
Another instance where I received feedback was when I danced in high school. I
was a part of a dance company which I had to audition for every year. Each year,
they would give us feedback on things we were doing well and things we needed to
work on. I took this feedback to further develop my skills. Each year I was excited to
see this feedback written down as it made me want to work harder.
This semester I trained to be a URI tour guide. During the whole process I was
giving and receiving feedback to better my tour guiding skills. We had 3 mock tours,
where it was just me and a trainer and we went through the tour. After each of these
Leadership Inventory Revised 08/22/2017 26
I would sit down with them and they would go through the whole tour, highlighting
things that I should continue doing and things that could use more work. This
feedback was what made me feel ready to give tours. I was able to remember the
good things while also tweaking and adding things I needed to make the tour
exciting and informative. This training process also forced me to give feedback to
other training tour guides. We would often have activities where one person would
present a part of the tour and we would give them constructive feedback. Again, I felt
as if giving feedback was just as beneficial to me as receiving it. Giving it allows you
to reflect on what you do and what you liked that someone else did, you can
incorporate into your tour. (See evidence #9)

131 Student will describe personal examples of HDF 190 Student Council in high school One time I had to deal with a difficult person was when I was on the student council
using techniques to work effectively with work in customer service cabinet my senior year of high school. We were planning a dance marathon to raise
. difficult people money for childhood cancer for our school and it was the second one we had ever
done, so there were a lot of kinks to work out. The “head council” for planning this
event was the cabinet of the student council and my school’s cancer society working
together. Unfortunately, the student council president was talking extremely poorly of
the event. Getting students to attend was one of the most difficult parts of our job.
When someone was talking negatively about the event, especially someone involved
in the planning, it made students not want to attend. Everyone on the head council
noticed and heard that this student was doing it and it hurt all of our feelings.
Especially being president, part of your job is to advocate for all events and be a
school leader. Some of us wanted to go to our faculty advisors but we decided to
talk to him directly and tell him how we felt. He often was someone who did not listen
to people well or take criticism well as he would get defensive really quickly and talk
negatively about us later. We were nervous that talking to him would do nothing.
However, we chose one person to talk to him so he did not feel as though we were
ganging up on him. Because it was one person, he was listening and understanding
and thankfully did not lash out. We made sure that the person talking to him made
sure that he knew the purpose was not to argue but to genuinely let him know that it
was hurting out feelings. Because we went into it fairly, he responded so well. He
stopped talking negatively about the event and even started putting more work into
it. It also made all of our relationships stronger because we bonded over this conflict.
Another time I have had to deal with difficult people is at work. I have had 2 jobs and
both included customer service. One customer in particular that was difficult to deal
with was in my job at the pet store. A customer came in and seemed very flustered
and in a rush. She asked to get a food that my manager was supposed to special
order for her and was supposed to be in by then. I was the only person working at
the store and the food had not arrived yet. I told her that the food was not here yet
and that the food of those brands comes in on x certain day. This is when she began
to be a difficult person to deal with. Right when I explained that to her she got
extremely upset and started yelling in my face, getting uncomfortably close. Being
the only worker at the store I had no backup. She was yelling at me and calling me
names which began to upset me. I understand that it can be frustrating when your
product is not here, but I was not the manager and it was out of my control. I decided
to let the customer rant til they were done and not respond at all. There was not a lot
I could do. Once they were done yelling at me, I was able to apologize and assure
