Native American Student Organization: Head Representative
Student Programming Office: Advisor
My Most Valuable Learning...
- Interacting with other people (Learning how to approach different people/ situations)
-Problem Solving
-Knowing when to be a boss and when to be a leader
- The boss drives people; the leader coaches them.
- The boss depends upon authority; the leader on good will.
- The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm.
- The boss says ‘I’; the leader says ‘we.’
- The boss says ‘Get here on time’; the leader gets there ahead of time.
- The boss fixes the blame for the breakdown; the leader fixes the breakdown.
- The boss knows how it is done; the leader shows how.
- The boss makes work a drudgery; the leader makes work a game.
- The boss says ‘Go’; the leader says ‘Let’s go.’”
- The boss justifies or lays blame - the leader takes responsibility.

Self Leadership
| 15. Student will describe own personal leadership style, including strengths and weaknesses, and examples of application (Ex. = Leadership style inventories, the L.P.I., career inventories, etc.) | F’ 07: RBB-HDF 297 F’ 10: HDF 412 HDF 417 | F’ 07: Guest Speaker: Ray Watson F’ 10: Church: Breakfast Ministry |
Fall 2007:
A person who displays Servant Leadership is Ray Watson who works for a non-profit organization in Providence, R.I. Mr. Watson explained that a Servant Leader has to be assertive, helpful, hardworking, and has to get involved. He also explained that a part of being a leader is knowing when to be a boss and when to be a leader. Sometimes being a boss means making executive decisions that could impact your given situation. When it comes to being a leader you have to take into account morals, ethics and organization. Another key element he focused on is if you’re aspiring to be a future leader you must learn how to deal with/handle difficult situations and you must find a good mentor. He stressed the importance of finding a mentor who is doing something that is positive in their life and that can offer you the proper advice to help you succeed.
Updated Fall 2010:
The purpose of being a Servant Leader is to be able to serve people for a better good, also to build a strong community. When I volunteered at my church I worked in the kitchen as a part of the Breakfast Ministry. This ministry was dedicated to be of service to the local community (community outreach), the church family, and any other guests joining us for Bible School and Sunday worship. I was practicing servant leadership by dealing with all types of people, Christians, guests and the community of South Providence. One of the key characteristics of a servant leader is “listening”, having the patience to listen was a challenging task for me. I felt this way because I had to listen to my mother who was the chairperson of the ministry, a large group of children running around, hungry adults and members of the team who felt the need to delegate tasks even though it was not there role. Another characteristic is “awareness”, being aware of the people you are surrounded by as well as the different personalities you have to deal with. When dealing with a large amount of people, a leader has to have a certain amount of patience toward everyone not just the people you are close to. I realized that one of my strengths was keeping everything in order whether it was food, people or maintaining the kitchen area.
Inclusive Leadership
70. | Students will demonstrate knowledge of McIntosh’s theory of privilege and its relationship to leadership |
"In proportion as my racial group was being confident, comfortable, and oblivious, other groups
were likely being made unconfident, uncomfortable, and alienated. Whiteness protected me from many kinds of hostility, distress, and violence, which I was being subtly trained to visit in turn upon people of color." Peggy McIntosh
Point #13. I can speak in public to a powerful male group without putting my race on trial.
Point # 17. I can criticize our government and talk about how much I fear its policies and behavior without being seen as a cultural outside.
Point # 24. I can be sure that if I need legal or medical help my race will not work against me.
