of people, and building community. A servant leader is someone who is servant first. According to
Robert Greenleaf servant leadership begins with ones natural feeling to lead. Meaning that servant
leaders are born with the natural feeling to serve others. A common quote we used in class we used to

Relational Leadership model by about the importance of the relationship among people in a group who share a
. Komives, McMahon & Lucas
common purpose and goal. The 3 basic principles of relational leadership are
knowing, being, and doing. For knowing you must know yourself, how change
happens, and how others see things differently. For being you must be ethical, open,
caring, and inclusive. For doing you must act socially responsible, congruent and
constant as a member of a community. The 4 components of relational leadership are
inclusive, empowering, purposeful, ethical, and process-oriented. This model helps
explain how an effective group would work. (Evidence #12)
41 Student will describe personal application HDF 190 Group marshmallow building The theory on relational leadership is broken down above. In HDF 190 in class we
of the above theory (Kumises et al) had a marshmallow building challenge. Activity consisted of members from both
.
FLITE classes. We were put into random groups with a mixture of students who all
had different strengths and values. The purpose of the activity was to get a group to
build the tallest and sturdiest house out of a limited supply of marshmallows, tape,
and spaghetti. Along with building the house we had to come up with a backstory if
the house. The relational leadership applied to this activity because to be an effective
group we had to make sure all group members were included and all members
opinions of what to do were being heard. We had to make sure all members were
being empowered and not being put down. As a group we had to be purposeful and
all come up with a common goal. We established a common goal of making the best
house that fit all the criteria. As a group we were process- orientated because we
knew how we wanted to accomplish our goal and we were civil even if we disagreed
with a group members idea.

Social Change Model of Leadership root of problems and addresses them. The social change model promotes equality,
. Development by Astin et al
social justice, and knowledge. The model is made up of 7 Cs; consciousness of self,
congruence, commitment, collaboration, common purpose, controversy with civility,
and citizenship. Consciousness of self means that one is wear of their own beliefs,
values, attitudes, and what motivates them self to take action. Congruence means
being fair and honest with others. Commitment means sticking to your word and
following through. Collaboration is working with others and empowering them.
Common purpose means that all are striving for the same goal and values.
Controversy with civility brings light being different ideas and viewpoints but
everyone has to have the willingness to look at the others viewpoint and respect it.
The last C is citizenship and its the process where one becomes a part of a
community.

of being a change agent booth has the motivation, understanding and the skills to make a positive change. A change agent needs to
. understand that change takes time, it can get rough, and ways to get over the roughness. A change
agent should have a positive outlook. The change agent needs to be comfortable with the transition.
That will need patience and confidence in themselves, and be willing to step out of their comfort zone.
A change agent has to be willing to take risks to make differences, be able to invision a positive
outcome. Have the ability to influence others. I demonstrated being a change agent in the Multicultural
overnight program and my random acts of kindness booth in the memorial union for my group seventh
leadership project. I was being a change agent by volunteering for the MOP because I stepped out of
my comfort zone to help a possible incoming URI freshman with their curiosities and fears about
college. I ensured they felt welcomed and accepted here. The Random Acts of Kindness is another
example of being a change agent. By doing the booth I was stepping outside of my comfort zone to
make another persons day positive. My classmates and I reached out to students on campus and had
them pick quotes from jars that would be like little pick me ups, especially around the end of the
semester. These are who example of how I demonstrated being a change agent that I learned from
HDF 190. (Evidence #5 & #11)

97 Student will demonstrate knowledge of PRS 100 HDF 190 In my public relations course we gained knowledge on diffrent types of crisiss and how much damage
leadership that is used in crisis that type of crisis can cause. The model we used for this was Situational Crisis Communication Theory
. (SCCT). Working in the PR world you take on a leadership role weather you work within a company or
for public media. PR professionals are leaders because they control what media and news gets out to
the public and they have to ensure that the information they are sending out is accurate and ethical.
Since PR is a profession that is based of trust with their publics. Its common for people to confuse PR
with marketing where the profession becomes less ethical. So PR professionals much be honest and
ethical when it comes to their profession. The three clusters in the SCCT are; Victim cluster, In these
crisis types, the organization is also a victim of the crisis. Accidental cluster, In these crisis types, the
organizational actions leading to the crisis were unintentional. Preventable cluster, In these crisis
types, the organization knowingly placed people at risk, took inappropriate actions or violated a
law/regulation. My public relations cores helped me gain knowledge of a crisis and how leaders should
act in a crisis. HDF gave me knowledge on how leaders should act in a crisis, which is honest, ethical,
and fair. (Evidence #15)
