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.

Outcome Category: Self-Leadership
Outcome Target class Additional Experiences Descriptive notes regarding learning and practice
1. Student will demonstrate autonomy and a N/A Attending College I see myself as a very indecisive person when it comes to make big decisions that will impact the rest
minimized need for approval of my life. I always strive to be the best and want the absolute best outcome possible. Deciding where
I wanted to go to college was one of the hardest decisions of my life. I applied to about twelve different
schools to keep my options open. I was interested in traveling far from home. My mom wouldn’t allow
me to go to Florida so I had to choose between some smaller SUNY state schools, URI, Delaware, or
Maryland. I ended up not getting into the nursing school in Delaware so I knew it wasn’t meant to be.
All of my friends were attending SUNY state schools, but I wanted to branch out and meet many more
people coming from a small town. Although I was nervous and didn’t really want to attend URI because
my brother went here. In the end, believe I made the best decision coming to URI.
See evidence #1.
2. Student will demonstrate personal, BUS 201 Agenda Going away to college calls for self-discipline. If you can’t balance your social and academic life, you
organizational, and academic examples of BUS 202 Cheat Sheet will not be successful. There will always be opportunities to go out or stay in for the night to get your
self-discipline work done for the following week. You must make the choice, or sacrifice that will benefit you in the
end. If you have a big test coming up but it’s your best friend’s birthday and you promised her that you
would go out you must plan accordingly. Don’t sleep in and waste your day, get up and study as much
as you can so you can enjoy your night with your friend. The best thing that helps me get my work
done is writing everything down that is due in advanced so I can plan my week ahead of time. If I don’t
write something down, it will not get done. I like to be very organized with my school work and with my
bedroom. I don’t like not knowing where something is, especially if I’m in a rush and I have to wear a
certain outfit that day so my closet is color coordinated.
See Evidence #2
For my Financial and Managerial Accounting (BUS 201 & 202) classes, I was allowed to make a “cheat
sheet” that was allowed on the exam. From being a well-organized person, I jumped on this
opportunity to make a well-organized sheet to help me during my exam. For each exam, my professor
gave us the order in which the exam would follow so I organized my sheet according to the exam. This
helped me with my academic self-discipline as well, knowing it would take me hours to organize and
bring all the information together on one page back and front. I still have these study sheets saved to
my computer because I know they will help me with my future business courses.
See Evidence 2A.
3. Student will demonstrate the ability to N/A Passing of a loved one Junior year of high school, my dad was diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. My mom sat my brother
manage emotions and I down right before I had to go to basketball practice. I didn’t know what to think… When you hear
your best friend has cancer, your heart stops for a minute. You ask yourself why him, what did he do to
deserve this? How long do I have left? Why did my mom think it was the right idea to tell me before I
had to go play basketball and act like nothing was wrong in front of my team? Maybe she couldn’t hold
it in any longer or maybe it was just because we were all together under the same roof. I had to collect
myself for practice because I was not ready to talk about it with my friends.

The doctors were unsure about how long he had left, so we planned a trip to St. Thomas for that
upcoming Christmas for ten days. We wanted to make the best of whatever remaining time we had left.

January of my senior year, he passed away. Senior year was the busiest year for me and I couldn’t let
this get me down. I couldn’t miss my AP classes because the exams were coming up, I had to plan
senior ball and also go to junior prom to crown the next queen, it was also basketball season so I
couldn’t miss practice, and definitely didn’t want to miss the games. It was not seeing him in the stands
hard especially because my dad was my biggest supporter and at every game. After the wake, we had
a game with the biggest rival in our conference. I couldn’t miss it for anything. They did a moment of
Leadership Inventory Revised 08/22/2017 8
silence for me and the only thing I wanted to do was cry. If I cried, I knew it would’ve messed up my
game for the night, so I stayed focused and we won against our biggest competition.

Whenever someone brings up how they hate how their dad if he says they’re not allowed to go out for
a night, or something so small I always want to be like at least you still have your dad in your life. It isn’t
easy managing my emotions, but it has made me the strong women I am today. It is still unreal to me
that my best friend is no longer here but I have the absolute best guardian angel that is watching over
me.
4. Student will demonstrate knowledge of Yoga Every Friday at 5:30, my friends and I attend Hot Yoga at the top of campus. An older girl in my
stress management methods sorority teaches it. Until I started going to these classes, I never knew how stress can physically feel
like it’s holding you down. “The practice of yoga allows students to find stillness in a world consumed
with chaos.” I didn’t realize how good I would feel until after an hour class of yoga. The stress from the
week was lifted off my shoulders. I am now able to relax and not worry about every little thing that went
wrong the past week.
See evidence #4
Personal Experience has taught me that preparation is an important aspect of reducing stress. I have
learned that I must write down all of the upcoming assignments that I have due a week in advance to
be able to get every assignment due on time, and to also fit working at the Chophouse Grille, working
at the gym and also going to the gym into my busy schedule. Working out has also helped me to
reduce my stress level. I have realized I need a mixed balance in order to manage my stress.
See Evidence #4A
5. Student will demonstrate the ability to BUS 201 Basketball Throughout my high school career I have always been involved in many extracurricular activities.
manage stress BUS 202 Playing a sport each season, being the President of my graduating class, treasurer of National Honor
Society, and also a part of our high school business club. In high school I also had a job and was able
to maintain high honor roll grades in college level courses. I have continued my involvement in college
as well. Being a part of the fraternity Alpha Phi, a campus representative for the Platinum
Entertainment Group, and also working part time. With any sort of school work, it comes with stress. If
you add extra-curricular activities and working part time, you must have good time management skills
to manage your stress. Working out and going to $5 hot yoga has helped me relieve stress after a long
day.
At the beginning of my core classes for my major (accounting), I thought that college would be a
breeze. Then, as the year progressed, I noticed I started to have some trouble. I felt rushed through
the course outline packets that we went over in class and was forced to seek out an Accounting tutor. I
am constantly completing an assignment due for accounting, whether it’s a 15 page homework packet,
an online quiz on Wiley or Connect, team projects, or making a cheat sheet (that we are allowed to use
on the exam).
Financial and Managerial Accounting (BUS 201 & 202) has taught me that if you procrastinate and do
not keep up to date on your assignments, you will fall behind. It has also taught me that if you don’t
allow yourself to fall behind, you can excel at any given subject. I took my time and fit each assignment
into my schedule for the week, along with visiting the professor’s office hours and also going to the
tutor’s to get the help and guidance that I needed. Through my hard work and dedication, I received a
B+ in Accounting which I am very proud of. Currently in Managerial Accounting I have an A and I hope
to maintain that letter grade. Going to the tutor has helped me manage my stress because they would
explain what we went over in class very thoroughly. I didn’t have to teach myself the material so it
relieved the stress I was having.
See evidence 5A.
6. Student will express a personal code of
leadership / membership ethics
7. Student will demonstrate practice of the
personal code of ethics

Leadership Inventory Revised 08/22/2017 9


8. Student will express a personal values HDF 290 VIA Be honest with yourself and you won’t have to worry about what anyone says or thinks about you,
statement (Sources = VIA, values PHL 212 because you know the truth. My top strength from the VIA was honesty. I believe honesty is the key to
clarification exercises, etc.) your success throughout life. Being honest with yourself goes a long way and being honest with others
proves you’re a trustworthy person. No one likes a liar. Lying isn’t worth the consequences.
See Evidence #4
In PHL 212, Dr. David Prentis taught the class about morals. As I am maturing into the women I am
today, I have realized that everyone was raised differently. Not everyone has the same morals as I do.
Many people including some one my so called “friends” don’t have respect for each other, or each
other’s property. For example, when I let someone borrow something of mine, I expect them to take
care of it better than they would if it was their own. From what I’ve seen, many people don’t have the
same mind set as me and are careless when it comes to my belongings. I lent a friend some shoes,
and they came back scuffed, I let a friend wear one of my new shirts that I just got before I even wore it
yet and she got it stained. The simple, minor things such as having respect have taught me not to trust
everyone around you and don’t expect anything from anyone because you never know what could
happen.
9. Student will demonstrate practice of the
personal values statement
10. Student will demonstrate the ability to SPA 102 N/A At least once a semester, I have been assigned a team project. Most of the time, professors decide to
lead a project from start to finish (follow- BUS 365 grade the team as a whole rather than individually. If one person in your group didn’t put any effort in
through) they will get the same grade. Getting good grades is very important to me so I always take the
initiative to get everyone’s phone numbers and emails to start a group chat to plan when we will be
meeting to do the project. One example is in Spanish 102, we had to make a video speaking in
Spanish about a trip we wanted to go on. Many of the group members did not show up to the meeting
times in the library so I was forced to take the initiative and do most of the work myself. Although I was
very annoyed with my team members, I had to do what had to get done in order to get a good grade.
First, I made the Power point with pictures and the dialogue of what each member had to say
throughout the video. I then set up a time to all meet for the very last time to film the video. I also
edited it myself and submitted it to the professor. Doing all the work was well deserved because my
group received a 97 and that helped my overall final average.
In my marketing class (BUS 365), we were put in teams on the first day of the semester. Since then,
we have had many group projects due. Two presentations, and one twenty page term paper as a group
due by the end of the semester. Working with two other guys, I decided to take the initiative and began
the process of communicating to get the projects completed. We started a group chat since everyone
is constantly on their phones it makes it easier to get a response back less than a minute later. I then
opened up a PowerPoint and shared it with my team members on a google drive. We picked a time to
meet up to decide how to split up the presentation. Our presentation consisted of presenting the most
important aspects of Chapter 18 from our marketing text book. Since we were the last group to present,
ours had to be the best. We met every other day prior to presenting. We also rehearsed the
presentation many times and made flash cards to ensure we wouldn’t make a mistake in presenting.
Our professor was very pleased with our work and we received an A.
See Evidence 10A.
11. Student will describe goals and objective If you don’t have goals in life, you wouldn’t have a purpose for the work that you do every day.
statements regarding personal issues, Personally, I have always wanted to be successful because who wouldn’t? And I don’t mean the type
career issues, and community issues of success where you have money and the perfect family with children and a steady job. I want to give
back to the world by donating money to cancer research. Seeing my dad suffer through radiation
made me wish there was a cure. I don’t like seeing people in pain especially someone who meant the
world to me. I would also like to see equality throughout gender and race. Nothing bothers me more
than someone who makes comments about those of a different race. I believe we are all equal and
one day I hope the world will realize that as well.

achieved I joined Ram Fund because we have to present weekly and we aren’t allowed to have a notecard or
look back at the slides. We are preparing for our fidelity presentation where we present which stocks
we bought in front of 50 professional analysts. If you asked me if I could see myself doing this 3 years
ago, I would’ve said hell no! Throughout this semester I built up the confidence to speak in front of
other analysts on what we did for the semester and to also be able to answer any questions they may
have after the presentation.
See Evidence #12
13. Student will show knowledge of the PSY 113 N/A The Hierarchy of Needs by Maslow is composed of a five tier model of basic human needs. Maslow
“Hierarchy of Needs” theory by Maslow believed that people possess a set of motivation systems unrelated to rewards or unconscious desires.
When I was in high school, I took a psychology class for college credit. My professor spent a lot of
time going over this theory and used the visual pyramid to help us better understand. The five stage
model is divided into deficiency and growth needs. One must satisfy the lower level needs before
progressing on to meet higher level needs.
1. Biological and Physiological needs- air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep.
2. Safety needs- protection from elements, security order, law, stability, freedom from fear.
3. Love and belongingness needs- friendship, intimacy, trust and acceptance, receiving and giving
affection and love, affiliating (being a part of a group).
4. Esteem needs- achievement, mastery, independence, status, dominance, prestige, self-respect, and
respect from others.
5. Self-Actualization needs- realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth and
peak experiences.
Every person is capable and has the desire to move up in the hierarchy toward a level of self-
actualization. Since I learned this model, I have used this in my life to motivate myself to become a
better person and fulfill my needs.

experience of facilitating connects with the Wilson Model Theory. First, you must know yourself before
you lead others; your strengths, weaknesses, values, and needs. You must have good time
management and organization skills, and also self-care and self-discipline to keep yourself on track. To
lead others, you must broaden your perspective and understand them as well. As a leader, I work to

themselves by fooling around, but letting down the team if they continued. No one acted up after I
talked to them individually and we began to work better as a team and win.
The Strengths Quest showed that my top 5 strengths were achiever, include, restorative, responsibility
and belief.
According to the GALLUP Strengths Quest:
1. Achiever: People in this theme have a great deal of stamina and work hard. They take great
satisfaction from being busy and productive.
2. Includer: People in this theme are accepting of others. They show awareness of those who feel left
out, and make an effort to include them.
3. Restorative: People in this theme are adept at dealing with problems. They are good at figuring out
what is wrong and resolving it.
4. Responsibility: People in this theme take psychological ownership of what they say will do. They are
committed to stable values such as honesty and loyalty.
5. Belief: People in this theme have certain core values that are unchanging. Out of these values
emerges a defined purpose for their life.

3. Stop depending on inspections; instead of inspecting the product for quality after production, infuse quality after production.
4. Use a single supplier for any one item; minimizing total cost by working with one supplier.
5. Improve constantly and forever; improving quality and productivity only comes by improving the system.
6. Use training on the job; a trained worker has more productivity and quality than an untrained one.
7. Implement leadership; a company will display a huge growth if leaders are identified and encouraged.
8. Eliminate fear; fear robs people of pride and joy in their work and kills all forms of intrinsic motivation.
9. Break down barriers between departments; must work as a team to foresee problems.
10. Get rid of unclear slogans; eliminate quotas on the factory floor and use quality control.
11. Eliminate management by objectives; focus on quantity not quality.
12. Remove barriers to pride of workmanship; supervisor’s responsibility must be focused on quality, not numbers.
13. Implement education and self-improvement; a person must grow after joining a company… let them learn new technology and techniques.

Leadership” theory by has two independent main components: directive and supportive behavior. Directive is characterized by the leader giving detailed rules and
Hersey & Blanchard instructions and monitoring closely that they are followed. The leader decides what is to be done, how it is to be done, and when it is to be done.
Supportive behavior is characterized by the leader listening, communications, recognizing, and encouraging. The degree of the leader’s directive
behavior is then determined by the follower’s behavior to direct his own work. The behavior rests on mutual respect and trust, understanding and
openness, and close human contact and warmth. The four quadrants with their different combinations that represent the four different leadership
styles are Directing, Coaching, Supporting, Delegating. It may be appropriate to use different styles with the same follower when he/she is
performing different tasks. The follower’s qualifications may be more appropriate for some tasks than others. These leaders learn to demonstrate
the four core, common, and critical leadership styles which is to:
1. Diagnose: understand the situation they are trying to influence
2. Adapt: adjust their behavior in response to the contingences of the situation
3. Communicate: Interact with others in a manner they can understand and accept
4. Advance: Manage the movement.
Dino Boyd presented this leadership theory in HDF 290.
See Evidence #39
The first day of BUS 365, my professor introduced Situational Leadership theory. As a leadership minor, I was familiar with this theory because we
learned about it in HDF 290. He gave us a handout with the definition of Leadership, Task, Relationship, Follower Maturity, Willingness, and Ability.
He strongly believes in this theory and uses it to teach his students. The first day of class he silenced us and made us get in order of our birthdays
from January to December. After everyone thought they were in the correct spot in the line, we said our birthdays in order. Some people were in
the wrong spot and the professor got angry with them. He put us into groups according to our birthday. Our first assignment was to memorize the
six definitions word for word for a quiz the next class. From this assignment, he could tell who was mature enough to complete the task. He
addresses each assignment through this leadership theory. He decides what it is to be done, how it is to be done, and when it is to be done.

feel about it. Process Continuum involves Active Experimentation (AC) (doing) and Reflective Observation (RO) (watching). This process also
involves how we approach a task. According to Kolb, people naturally prefer a certain single different learning style. This process represents a
learning cycle where the learner “touches all the bases.” Immediate experiences lead to observations and reflections which then are absorbed and

not the positional leader, then one was a follower or group member and looked to the leader for directions. They believed the responsibility of the
leader was to get the job done. The fourth stage is Leadership Differentiated which involves the participants differentiating their view of leadership
and seeing it as what an individual did as a positional leader, but also saw leadership being exhibited by non-positional group members. “The
process of leadership is much more important than the outcome.” In the fifth stage of Generativity, students show an ability to look beyond
themselves and express a passion for their commitments and care for the welfare of others. The choices they made based on their interests in

they meant they could work from anyplace in the organization to accomplish its purposes.

deciding to address it. The second step is gathering the information so that you can make a decision
based on facts and data. Next, involved identifying alternatives. Once you have a clear understanding
of the issue, it’s time to identify the various solutions at your disposal. For the fourth step, weigh the
evidence. You’ll need to “evaluate for feasibility, acceptability, and desirability.” Next, choose among
alternatives. Be sure to understand the risks involved with your chosen route. The sixth step is to take
action. And finally, review your decision. This step is often over-looked but it is important when making
a decision. Ask yourself what you did well and what could be improved next time.

realized how much thought goes into being a manager and dealing with minor issues. Managers must
think critically and act in the best interest of the company.
Last semester, a problem arose at an event of PEG’s on Block Island. It was the first weekend back to
school and everyone took the ferry from Narragansett to BI to enjoy the days at Ballard’s. During the
event, one girl who wasn’t even 21 passed out from drinking too much. She wasn’t with any of her
friends so the managers and I took it upon ourselves to get her help immediately. Although I didn’t
stop and think every step in detail out, I automatically followed the five steps. First, I knew we needed
to get her help immediately. Second, we didn’t want to leave her alone to go find help so two of us
stayed with her and the other found a paramedic. Third, we realized she wasn’t 21, and that could
affect us, and the venue. Fourth, the paramedics took her for help because health is more important
than getting the company in trouble for someone being under the legal age. And finally, we checked in
on her later that day because we finally found who she came with and she was totally fine.

booked with reservations for the night, walk-ins had to wait at least 25 minutes for a table. Customers must see the hostess first to get seated and be
put on the wait list. I went up to the gentleman and kindly told him that he could not sit there because we were booked and he had to wait like all of
the others. He insisted on getting up and yelling at me in front of everyone enjoying their meal about how this restaurant hasn’t been the same since
the new owner took it over. He was being very difficult and was very unhappy. My job is to make the customers happy with where they are sitting. I
remained talking to him very calmly. I believed using this strategy helped me. If I snapped back at the customer, it would’ve made the situation worse.

control they need to make decisions; support is key
4. It’s not about punishment: No one will be willing to step up, speak out, or try something new if they are in fear of you as a leader

highest standards of “being”.
