minimized need for approval most when I did a phlebotomy and learn how to work some things out ourselves. With my optometry related internship, I saw this a
internship , and was almost like a lot as I was learning new things, I also had to learn to rely on others less so that I could ensure that
mirror to my internship for this class more work was being done.
An example of organizational self discipline are my weekly reports that I complete at work. I have to
complete them usually at home, and on a weekly basis I sometimes don’t have the energy to do it
after a long week of classes. I still make myself do it, as I know how important it is for my job and how
significant it is to the company's efficiency.
An example of academic self discipline is my weekly Sunday study time. Even if I don’t have any
homework or quizzes to study for, I still review over notes from class and make sure I don’t have any
questions for ay classes.

Reflecting on this now, I realize that I have had to utilize this outcome in more classes, as well as
more in my daily life. I see it most in my recent class, BIO396 (Biology and Society). In this class, we
discuss sensitive topics such as racism in healthcare. I saw how interesting that the way I felt in the
past is seen again now. I again, have to ensure that during discussions that my opinion doe snot cloud
over anyone else’s. I also had to ensure that I was very patient with others with a different view.

going to drop my leadership minor until I talked to an advisor that helped me to break everything down
and manage what was happening. Due to this, I was able to continue with my minor.
Something new that I have done to manage stress is working out. I remember that being something
that teachers had mentioned for stress management, but I never really tried it. There is something so
therapeutic about channeling mental stressors physically. I now enjoy powerlifting, and enjoy seeing
my progress with this. Both work and school requires a lot of sitting, and sometimes it can feel like you
are just sitting with your stress. Being able to move around enables me to appreciate my body, and
step back from whatever stress I have.

issue one day when that wasn't done and there was no time to get it done either. Due to my own
personal code of ethics, I knew that patient's had to have signed a form in the past that disclosed this
process, and I wanted to ensure that it was honored. So, I took the time to ensure that everything was
done correctly, even though some co workers said it would take too long.
I see this outcome taking place in my internship as well. My own personal code of ethics had ensured
that I follow through everything in a specific order in order to remain HIPPA compliant. I have to go
through several more steps to even send out an email, for example. There's a specific site, and with
that site I can send certain files, but not others (ie. Encounter form). If a patient needs something
specific for their own medical history, they would need to come in to the office, sign some forms and
then be able to pick it up. As tedious as it can get, it is essential in healthcare.

can be seen more than others. intelligence. Curiosity is an important theme to have in leadership as you are constantly thinking about
something new or wanting to explore something. Due to this, whatever is being worked on in a team,
can be explored further and done in an outside of the box way. Finally, I think that having love as a
value simply is an expression of compassion. When you love someone or something, you show
compassion towards it/them. For a person, obviously if you love the person you show empathy for
them. If you love something, you are passionate towards it and put your best work forward.
This value in leadership showed up for me in such an early age, and stayed with me for the rest of my
life. I have had to use kindness in leadership ever since then, and I truly base that trait off of treating
others the way I would want to be treated.
I noticed how important this value is when it is reciprocated. With my genetics class for example, I
remember being incredibly stressed out for an exam asI was out sick the week before it. A classmate
noticed this and gave me their notes, and also took the time out of their busy schedule to explain
some of the lectures to me. I appreciated it so much because if it wasn't for them, I feel as though I
would not have done as well as I did. To repay them for their act of kindness a few weeks later, they
were going through the same thing, and I ensured that they would feel prepared for the exam in a
similar manner.

14. Student will show application of Maslow’s PSY113 This outcome is continuously being Applying Maslow’s theory to my own life I see how I need all five to be content. Starting with
theory to own life seen in action in everyday life. I think physiological needs, I thankfully have food, water, and shelter, and am not worried about any of those
that each of the needs presented are aspects. Not having to worry about basic physiological needs leads to the next tier, safety. This can be
something that we strive to applied in everyday actions such as using a seatbelt, locking the door, etc. Next is love and belonging,
completely everyday. For me, I know which is seen in everyday relationships. There is a need to belong somewhere, and for me, that sense
that each of the five needs I try to of belonging is with my family and friends. For the fourth, esteem needs, I do this by going to school. I
meet every single day. enjoy the feeling of accomplishment, and school is one of the easiest ways for me to achieve that. The
final is self realization. I think that I have achieved some part of that, but I don’t believe that I have this
aspect completely down. I think for your full potential, there’s always going to be a need to improve on
something, so I’m not sure how one would reach their full potential.
There has been a point during my college experience where I was a little bit more secluded. I think
that during COVID, I picked up on some not as good habits and retreated more within myself. I was
still following some of Maslow’s needs, but not others. The ones I was lacking the most was seen via
my lack of social interactions. I spent most of my time just focusing on school, and actually ended up
not doing as well during that semester compared to when I was more social. I noticed that mentally I
did better as well. I think this hierarchy of needs is especially important when trying to reach the top,
self realization. Once lockdown restrictions weren’t as bad, and I was able to have more interactions
with my peers, I did a lot better. It taught me a lot about balancing school/work with social interactions
and relationships.

2. Ensuring efficiency. This means that those who are assigned certain jobs are actually efficient at it,
and are best suited for it.
3. Equal divided work between managers and workers. According to Taylor, there should be virtually
no huge separation of workers and managers, so both should be working together as the manager
plans and the worker follows directions.
4. Result based pay. This is the idea that pay should be influenced by the efficiency of the workers.
Those who are the most productive should get paid more than those who aren’t.

“Management by Objectives” theory of topic in my HDF290 class. management comes up with a set of goals to manage subordinates. It is a series of 5-6 steps:
leadership by Drucker 1. Determining organizational goals
2. Determining employee objectives
3. Monitoring progress and performance
4. performance evaluation
5. providing feedback
6. performance appraisal
The main aim of this theory is to make sure that there is an agreed upon clarity between management
and employees for the goals that should be completed in order to have the best possible outcome.

of the above theory (Drucker) internship comes up with goals to manage the workers. First, there is a determination of the organization's goals
and employee objectives. The doctor gives us a packet before work that clearly states these. Then,
our progress is monitored and evaluated before we are given feedback on what we are doing well and
what needs to be improved. Finally, the performance appraisal comes last where our overall
performance is assessed.

I saw this outcome again in my MGT441 class. A classmate presented on this, and explained it in one
sentence that made it more clear : " Help me help you". I think that there were so many excellent
examples used during the presentation. One that sticks out the best is when a quote by Nelson
Mandela was stated for his biography that can be summarized as a leader is a shepherd that stays
behind his flock and enables them to move forward. You have to be able to work for people in order to
get the best outcome.

use whatever power you have, and use that to better serve others.

Covey results, depending on whether or not the leadership style is for personal or professional life. The
characteristics for personal life are: family, money, possessions, work, pleasure, friend, enemy,

customer, program, policy, competition, image, and technology. Each of these characters fell closer to
the principles one way or another. He believes that what you value internally would be reflected in

I saw this outcome take place during my job at CVS. I had two positions at this job as both a

with the experience I had it was essential to practice this. With different customers comes
different levels of care necessary. For example, an older customer needs a lot more help than
someone who is maybe in their 20s. Based on the situation, I would know what kind of
approach I would need to take. For example, if an elderly person asked me where something
was, I would go with them to show them the product they wanted. However, usually with
someone younger, I would simply state where to find it, and they would not need any further
help.

Recently, I was on a phone call with my family. They were just checking in on me, and we were talking
about whether or not I would be bale to see them this summer. We also somehow ended up talking
about the issue going on in Iran about women's freedom and rights. I noticed that some of the
arguments they made were influenced by the media they consume, and it took some effort to show
them that the arguments they were making were not factual, and were actually very harmful. This
utilized the cycle of socialization, as we can see how enforced some institutional beliefs are within

I saw this outcome occur again in my BIO396 class. At the start of the class, we were learning bout
our own implicit biases prior to reading the texts required, and discussed and reflected on it. We saw
how naiveté, conformity, and dissonance took root of a major part of everyone’s lives. Then we
discussed what are some things that shocked us into challenging our previous beliefs, and how to
become more aware of them. Finally, by the end of the class, there is a commitment for consequent
changes in our behavior based on the values we established from the beginning of class.

before discussing examples of being qualities in order to be effective leaders as well:
a change agent in class. 1. Flexibility - Being able to tap into creativity of others by connecting with different kinds of people
2. Diversified knowledge - leaders are not stuck within the confines of their own industry and try to
stay ahead of the ins and outs of what is happening in their industry.
3. Prioritization - To create change, it is important to tie a specific priority/ies to overall goals.
4. Accountability + Responsibility - People respect courage and accountability, and in order to lead
effectively, these are necessary.

gender and sexuality 1. Brainstorming - We had an established topic (gender and sexuality), however since it was such a
large and vague topic, we had to brainstorm ideas in order to try to get the ball rolling. This leads
to #2.
2. Voting - after brainstorming our ideas, our group voted on which ideas we wanted to cover, and
went by majority.
3. Trial and error - This was a more personal decisions making method. For me, I was struggling to
find correct research work that covered the specific topic, and was constantly in a state of trial and
error, until I finally ‘got’ what I needed to get.
4. Consulting is a decisions making method that was heavily used. Our team when brainstorming,
came up with potential people to interview and consult throughout the project.
5. Pro and con - This was used when trying to figure out what’s the most effective media to use
during the project. Since it was a multimedia project, our team had to weigh out pros and cons of

utilize the information
2. Reflect: Thinking back to what I could have done differently, along side with people's critiques to do
better.

3. Norming - After storming stage, this is when members are able to begin their productivity. They just
have open communication to avoid future conflict.
4. Performing - Team is extremely efficient and trust each other.
5. Adjourning - After the performing stage, where goals are met, this is a reflection phase.
