36 Students will demonstrate knowledge of HDF 190 Dr. Bill Grace created the 4vs by looking at leadership research and personal
the 4 Vs theory of leadership by Grace Leadership Crest experiences that shaped his views of leadership. The 4vs of ethical leadership
. (Center for Ethical Leadership)
are virtue, values, vision, and voice. In the center of the leadership model is
virtue and virtue is connected to the other Vs by polis, service and renewal
Virtue stands for the common good, its doing the right and just thing when we
are presented with a choice or decision. To be an ethical leader you need to
have and understand your core values, it is when you discover your core
values that you can apply to every level of your life. Vision is a picture in your
mind of what should be in relation to service to others. Voice is taking that
vision or that picture of what should be in your mind and portraying that in a
convincing way that inspires people to action. In the model, service connects
values and vision, the reason for this is because peoples vision is often shown
after or during service when their values are tested. Polis connects voice and
vision. Polis is Greek for the word city and the roots for the English word
politics, when we apply voice to our vision for a public service or act then we
are involved in politics. Renewal is in between voice and values. This is
because as we reveal our voice we need to consider if our actions are in
balance with our values and vision. In HDF 190 we were given the leadership
Crest that had the 4vs on it that we had to complete. For values I put
perspective, under vision I said happiness because it is a vision or a goal or
mine to make the world a happier place, under virtue I put wisdom and under
voice I put a plan of action on how to complete my vision, I wrote that I am
going to use my voice for change by complimenting people whenever the
opportunity arises so that I can bring a little bit of happiness into someones life.

40 Student will show knowledge of the HDF 190 Roommate The relational leadership model motivates people to be inclusive, ethical,
Relational Leadership model by agreements empowering, purposeful and process oriented. There are three basic principles
. Komives, McMahon & Lucas
of relational leadership, first is knowing, then being, and doing. Knowing is
knowing yourself and how others view things different than you. Next is being
and that is about being caring, principled and ethical. Finally, is doing, and that
is acting in a socially responsible way consistently on your passion and
commitments. In the center of the model is purpose because if you don't have
a why or a purpose then there is no meaning behind the end goal. The reason
someone is doing something is just as important as what they are doing.
Surrounding purpose is inclusive, empowering, and ethical. Inclusivity is not
just bringing different types of people to the table it's making sure they have a
voice and feel empowered at that table. All parts of the model work together in
the sense that to be inclusive you need to empower people and to empower
people you need to be ethical in how you empower them, and the root of all of
this is your purpose. And the final idea is that all of these things should be
process oriented to get things done most effectively but also because good
things happen when people trust the process. This year was first time I had to
live with someone in the same room and share a bathroom with 5 other kids so
thats why everyone in my hall had to make roommate agreements. There were
things that I wanted in the agreement that my roommates didnt so I had to
compromise and trust the process that everything would work out because my
purpose was for everyone to be happy. (evidence 40)

.
this, it made me think about my job that I have back in my home town
because listening was a big part of it. I worked at a center that cared
for mentally complex people and kids. The reason listening played
such a key role is because the patients dont talk much so when do
make a noise its very important. I was taught different listening skills
when I was first employed there because its the best way to make
sure these people are as happy as possible. See evidence(100)

Studies. Knowing this I was very lucky to have Robin as my peer
leader in HDF 190 because she has had extensive work with the
outcomes and could give me great feedback on what I could do
better. After receiving my first 5 outcomes, I made many mistakes but
she went over each of the outcomes where I had made a mistake
and explained how and what I could do better. I kept all of her advice
with me for when I did the next 5 outcomes and this time I did a
much better job. I took WRT 104 as a blended class which means
that half of it is online and a big part of this class was peer reviews.
We had to post all of our writing assignment before they were due
and three people peer reviewed mine and I peer review three others.
This was when I gave the bulk of my feedback. I would try to read the
paper twice before I wrote down any feedback because its easy to
miss interpret ideas and sentences when you have to read so many
papers. After I read it twice I would go through the rubric and give
the best detail about where and how they went wrong. I also
intentionally tried to be as positive as possible with my feedback so
they felt like they could make something of the paper even if it was
not that good when I read it. (evidence 104)

difficult people
I work at 7 Hills Pediatric Center which is a nursing home for
mentally complex people. The patients that I work with can be difficult
for some people but I enjoy being with them very much. Myself and
whoever I am working with are assigned a few patients are to play
games with them and watch movies together. Its special because
over time you form a bond because you spend so much time
together every week. I have been able to be effective because I try
and pay as much attention to the patients I am working with so they
feel like I care. I also try to use active listening so I can tell how I
need to serve them best. (evidence 100)
114. Student will show knowledge of the stages HD4 190 HDF 190 In HDF 190 before they assigned us a group project they taught us
of group development (Tuckman, Bennis or Tuckmans stages of development to prepare us for what to come in
others)
our different groups. This was not only very beneficial for that class
but for all group projects going forward in my life. The model is not an
exact representation of all groups and what they go through but it
does accurately portray what most groups go through. The model we
were shown had 5 parts to it, first theres forming, storming, norming,
preforming, and finally adjourning. Forming is when the group gets
formed and for the most part everyone is strangers with each other.
Then there is storming, storming happens when members of the
group are not on the same page and there is distrust among the
team. It happens when people in the group view them self as not a
part of the team and as individuals. After storming the groups transfer
into norming, norming is the stage where people get passed their
differences and understand that they will be much more effective if
they all work together to achieve the common goal. Once a group is
in norming, its not long till they transfer to preforming. Preforming is
the stage that the group has been working towards and it is here
where everyone is working together and there is an atmosphere of
trust because the goal is reachable. Following performing is
adjourning, adjourning is they final stage and its where the team gets
together says goodbye to those leaving and welcomes in the new
group members. This whole model of group development can be
seen very clearly every year at college and high school within clubs
and sports teams. My HDF 190 group went through all of these
stages. We first meet as strangers the first day our groups were
made. We were in forming for a long time, we really didnt start to feel
like a group until we started our group project. The reason for this I
believe is that we didnt have a goal until we started the project so it
was harder to feel like a real group. It wasnt until after we started our
project that the storming stage began. There were a few
disagreements between members but a few members of my team
stepped up and resolved the issues the best way possible. It was
after this that we transitioned into the norming stage. It was here
when we got majority of our work done and it was great work. We
transitioned to performing when we had to present out project to the
class and we again did a good job. Finally, we transitioned to
adjourning the last 2 classes of HDF 190. It was here that we took a
team picture and as I left that day I knew I was going to miss my
group.

project. Our group mirrored the actual model very well. We first meet
as strangers the first day our groups were made. We were in forming
for a long time, we really didnt start to feel like a group until we
started our group project. The reason for this I believe is that we
didnt have a goal until we started the project so it was harder to feel

Finally, we transitioned to adjourning the last 2 classes of HDF 190. It
was here that we took a team picture and as I left that day I knew I
was going to miss my group. After learning about Tuckmans stages
of development and experiencing it firsthand it makes me feel much
more prepared for the rest of the group projects that I will have
throughout college and life. Knowing that its completely natural to go
through the storming stage will give me much more confidence that
everything will work out when it happens. (evidence 114)
