OUTCOMES
In this section, you will track your progress toward the outcomes. Each class in the minor
targets different outcomes; all of the classes list these outcomes on the syllabi (the words
“goals” or “curriculum areas” may be used instead). In many of our classes, the assignments
can serve as your evidence. Periodically, and not less than at the end of each semester, you
should update your outcomes progress. In the “additional experiences” column, name
additional classes or experiences that contributed to you becoming proficient in that outcome.
As the semesters pass, you will think of things from recent semesters and semesters further in the
past, or people or jobs, etc. in your past that also influenced your progress on that outcome. Do
not let that ambiguity upset you. Reflecting on development is not a linear process, but it does
help to reflect often. In the “descriptive notes” column, share insights about your growth, lack of
progress, successes, stumbling blocks, etc. At the end of each section, you need to include
evidence that supports your development toward the outcomes. Copies of papers, grading
sheets, evaluation letters—anything that shows that someone has determined that you have
demonstrated proficiency (or not, or are making progress). Make sure to keep electronic copies
of all of your evidence to include in your Portfolio.

“Relational McMahon focuses on the idea that leadership
Leadership” model revolves around relationships and moral practice
by Komives, through which individuals work together to achieve
McMahon & Lucas positive change (Komives, Lucas & McMahon,
2007) . This model is made up of five main
components; purpose, ethics, empowering,
inclusive, and process-oriented. The inclusive
component of being of the RLM refers to
welcoming and opening to diverse points of view
and diverse identities; valuing fairness and
equality, and making sure everyone feels heard.
Empowering others is an important component in
the RLM believing everyone has something to
bring to the table embraces what they have to
offer. Being a relational leader requires purpose. In
every leadership opportunity, you must know the
goal or overall mission in order to be successful.
The ethics component of RLM refers to the
responsibility of being able to make decisions, as
well as the responsibility to have good social
behavior among your group and among outside
individuals. In other words, ethics uphold values
and standards of morality The last component of
RLM is process-oriented. This requires relational
leaders to know and value a community, value the
importance of the process, and collaborate
effectively with their groups and those they are
leading. To understand and use the Relational
Leadership model is to incorporate all five
components of the model at all times. In
conclusion, RML respects the unique abilities of
the group's participants and believes that the
process will lead to the socially responsible
changes that the participants have decided they
wish to pursue.

(Komives et al) components relate well with my top five strengths;
deliberate, relator, competition, significant and
strategic. My great ability to be a relator, makes it
easy for me to be inclusive and empowering to
others. An inclusive leader involves everyone and
everyone’s ideas, while an empowering leader
gives others the ability to be involved as well as
the feeling of being involved in group decision
making, much like a relator would do. The
component of being purposeful in this model
relates to my strength of being significant,
meaning I am committed to goals and feel a need
to be successful.

Continuum by Griffin of the scale actively and consciously support
& Harro oppression, while those who are positioned
further to the right actively and consciously resist
it. In order to challenge oppression and work
toward a cultural shift, it is crucial for leaders to
advance to the right.The first stage of the
continuum on the left side is “Actively
Participating”; this refers to telling derogatory
jokes, putting down people, intentionally avoiding
targeted group members, discriminating against
targeted group members, verbally or physically
harassing targeted group members. The next
stage on the continuum is “Denying/Ignoring”;
Enabling discrimination and injustice by denying
that targeted group members are oppressed.
Does not actively discriminate or oppress, but by
denying that oppression exists, colludes with
oppression. The next stage in the continuum is
“Recognizing, No Action”; this stage refers to
being aware of oppression actions by self and
others and their harmful effects but not taking
action to stop this behavior. This inaction is the
result of fear, lack of information, confusion about
what to do. The reasons for this passivity includes
fear, a lack of knowledge, and uncertainty about
what to do.The following stage on the Action
Continuum is “Recognizing, Action”; which refers
to being aware of oppression and injustices, and
recognizes oppressive actions of self and others
and takes action to stop them. The next stage is
“Educating Self”; during this stage individual
begin by taking actions to learn more about
oppression and privilege, and the life experiences
affected by unjust social relations. They do so by
reading, attending workshops, seminars, etc.
Following this stage is the stage of “Educating
Others”; during this stage individuals move
beyond only educating themselves to questions
and dialogue with others too, they do not only
stop oppressive comments and behaviors, but
they also engage people to discussion to share
why you object to a comment or action. The next
stage is “Supporting/Encouraging”; individuals in
this stage Support others who speak out against
injustices or who are working to be more inclusive
of targeted groups by forming an allies group.
Lastly, we have the final stage on the scale,
“Initiating/Preventing”; during this stage leaders
are work to change individual and institutional
actions/ policies that discriminate against targeted
group members, plan educational programs, work
for passage of legislation that protects groups
from discrimination, etc.
