Self-Leadership: An Important First Step Toward Effective Leadership The theme of the 2012 AAFCS Annual Conference focused on leadership and leadership development for family Sue Buck, CFCS, and consumer sciences professionPresident als. As we heard at the conference and as we each try to define leadership ourselves, we find there are many definitions of the concept. The foundation for almost all of the definitions is “the power of influence.” We read and hear about leadership in an organization and how to be an effective leader of others. Before we can successfully provide leadership for others, we must first lead ourselves. What does that mean? It is how you lead your own life based on your own values and vision of your purpose, with course correction along the way. Values and vision influence who you are. Self-leadership is self-knowledge – as the Oracle of Delphi said thousands of years ago, “Know thyself.” We all know great leaders, but they are different from each other. We are also great leaders – and we are also different. We need to know our strengths and build our leadership skills based on them. This is a major premise of family and consumer sciences!
Leadership is not trying to be someone else. Leadership is being your authentic self. Being authentic means having high emotional intelligence. Daniel Goleman in his 1995 book, Emotional Intelligence, defined emotional intelligence (EQ) as the four competences that influence leadership performance – self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. We have discussed these competencies in many of our human development classes. How can we increase our EQ and thus strengthen our skills to lead ourselves and others? Practice by taking on leadership experiences whether in your workplace or in a volunteer capacity such as with AAFCS. Learn from those experiences. Take the time to reflect on what you learned before moving on to the next opportunity. Build on your self-knowledge with each new leadership challenge. That self-knowledge can be enhanced by
seeking honest feedback from those with whom you work. Develop a cadre of your family and consumer sciences colleagues to mentor and coach you on your leadership journey. Self-leadership needs continual focus. In a June 23, 2010 website article, “Who’s the Leader Anyway? 5 Core Qualities of a Self-Leader” by the Impact Instruction Group, the authors describe these core qualities: Enthusiasm for learning: well-read, love to learn, and share new information (they are curious!) Goals for life and career: setting goals for both personal and professional life with a specific monitoring process Willingness to let go: knowing where to direct own time and energy and where to delegate thus leading in areas of strength Discipline: creating plans and schedules – and sticking to them – thus creating work/life balance (continued on page 2)

Self-Leadership (continued from page 1) Focus: develop the skill of selecting what to focus on and tuning out the rest for a set amount of time – especially when doing creative thinking or problem solving All of these qualities are ones we have developed as family and consumer sciences students and professionals. They help us develop our “power of influence.” It is our challenge to use them ably so that we lead ourselves to competently lead others.

for members of a professional organization to periodically reflect upon their code of ethics to ensure that it is consistent with the organization’s major doctrines. Since the initial writing (and last major revision) of the AAFCS Code of Ethics, the AAFCS Senate has adopted a new mission statement. Additionally, over the last 15 years much attention has been paid to the identification and the development of the Family and Consumer Sciences Body of Knowledge. The purpose of this brief article is to make the claim that because the ethics of care is the predominant perspective in the AAFCS Mission statement and FCS Body of Knowledge, it should be used as a lens to reflect upon and possibly reconsider the AAFCS Code of Ethics. This writing is intended as background on why the 2012-2013 AAFCS Ethics Committee is soliciting participation from the general AAFCS membership to reflect on the AAFCS Code of Ethics during the fall of 2012.

Ethics of Care: Lens for AAFCS Code of Ethics By Jody L. Roubanis, CFCS, 2012-2013 Chair of the AAFCS Ethics Committee A profession’s code of ethics provides a set of guidelines for the ethical practice of those professionals who choose to be members of that professional organization. As the professional organization evolves with its mission statement and body of knowledge, so may the guidelines that dictate the ethical priorities of attentiveness by its members. Even though the ethical principles that underscore a code of ethics generally remain consistent throughout the organization’s history, it is important 2
The FACS - Summer 2012
More so than any other doctrine, a professional organization’s mission statement guides the focus of its code of ethics. In 2007, the AAFCS Senate voted to adopt the following statement: The mission of the American Association of Family & Consumer Sciences is to provide leadership and support for professionals whose work assists individuals, families, and communities in making informed decisions about their well-being, relationships, and resources to achieve optimal quality of life (AAFCS, n.d.). This mission statement identifies leadership and support as important roles for AAFCS members with the focus of assisting individuals, families, and communities in securing an optimal quality of life. Some ethical tenets articulated in the AAFCS Mission include: collaboration/connection, responsibility to others, and attentiveness to others. These ethical attributes are highly salient to the ethics of care (Held, 2006;
Noddings, 1997). A profession’s body of knowledge provides an epistemological stance on what is important and universal to that profession’s practice. A second important doctrine to consider is a profession’s body of knowledge. Supported by the spheres of individual well being, family strengths, and community vitality, the meeting of human needs is central to the Family and Consumer Sciences Body of Knowledge. Also central to the ethics of care, Tronto (1993) identifies the meeting of the needs of others as the fundamental concern in the ethics of care. Multiple ethical perspectives should be evident in a profession’s code of ethics to varying degrees (Roubanis, Garner and Purcell, 2008), yet the ethics of care can provide AAFCS members with a primary lens to reflect on the AAFCS Code of Ethics to ensure that the intent of the organization’s mission statement and body of knowledge are communicated in the code.

Janett has been a member of IFHE for 31 years and has served on the IFHE US Board for ten years. She has served as a representative and delegate to nearly every IFHE Congress and Council that has been held around the world for 30 years. Janett is also called the IFHE Congress Tour Leader, organizing tours since 1984. A wonderful and cheerful leader, Janett still inspires everyone with the message that there is always something that can be accomplished if we make the effort.
IFHE President Carole Warren reads Janette’s accomplishments while Immediate Past President Geraldine Hodelin holds the award.
Congratulations, Janett!
Born in 1922 in Hazlehurst, Mississippi, Janet became a home economics teacher and educator. She specialized in family resource management and earned a certificate in gerontology from the University of Georgia. Janett’s passion is to help others and make a difference in the lives of others, especially in Africa, the Caribbean, South America, and the US. She has spent her professional career and retirement years on enhancing the quality of life for others by conducting workshops, participating in events such as the International Year of Family, and teaching others about nutrition, household management, and financial management.

Announcements 2012-13 “Taking It to the Streets” Theme— Impact of the Economy on Families: Strategies and Solutions Note: For those who wish to continue their work with obesity, Ingrid Adams has formed a new AAFCS Community. Contact her at ingrid.adams@uky.edu.
Part of AAFCS’ public policy mission involves putting our expertise to work in the world around us. Many of the important issues facing society have a direct connection to family and consumer sciences content, and our individual and collective work has a positive impact! With that in mind, AAFCS encourages members and affiliates to “take it to the streets”: to put our knowledge to work on the “streets” we frequent. In recent years, “Taking It to the Streets” (TIS) focused on combating H1N1 and obesity. When considering current national and global economic issues, along with the FCS Alliance proposed impact statement related to this topic, and member input, the theme for TIS for the next two years is “The Impact of the Economy on the Family: Strategies and Solutions.” What does this mean for FCS professionals and AAFCS affiliates, communities, and partners? That’s up to us! In the coming year, AAFCS will be developing resources and suggestions for action. But we don’t need to wait – we can begin taking action now. Why? Because we already know some strategies and solutions that can help families and communities deal with the vagaries of economic change. 6
The FACS - Summer 2012
Suggested Roles Affiliate and AAFCS Partner Roles • Use this issue as a conference theme, speaker topic, or affiliate activity • Provide state contacts and report your affiliate’s activities as a whole. Encourage individual members to report their activities as well. This helps us to measure involvement and impact. Communities • Provide information related to strategies and solutions on this issue as it relates to your community. Members • Share information on your research, grant awards, materials developed, and activities. Suggested Activities Preventive Education - Workshops or media efforts focused on improved financial management skills may encourage families to build savings and/or reduce debt. Boosting Community Supports FCS professionals can work with community leaders and others to seek ways to address the needs of families that are struggling due to economic issues. Classroom Activities - Most secondary and higher education FCS classes have a component linked to economics. Take this opportunity to utilize TIS resources to enhance your work and bring it to the classroom “streets.” Resource Highlight: Let’s use FCS expertise! eXtension—your “go to” resource for unbiased research-based personal finance information with 1,800 published
FAQs and a place where you can “Ask an Expert.” The website, www.extension.org/personal_ finance. eXtension, houses the “best of the best” resources from land-grant universities throughout the country. Challenge: Working on your own or with other FCS professionals, do something extra in the name of AAFCS to address this important issue. Give credit to AAFCS – logos are available if you create materials. Then let the TIS leadership team know what you have done so it can be shared on the TIS portion of the website! Bottom Line: Be involved, check website information often, share with other FCS professionals and partners, label whatever you order or disseminate as AAFCS and/or FCS, get recognition through the media, share your ideas, and report on your work!

Initially, only a composite or “broad field” certification examination was offered to professionals with at least a bachelor’s degree in home economics (family and consumer sciences). Those who successfully completed certification requirements achieved the designation Certified in Home Economics (CHE), now Certified in Family and Consumer Sciences (CFCS). Currently, professionals may take examinations that include some items from the broad Family and Consumer Sciences body of knowledge and a major portion from either Human Development
Hospitality, Nutrition, and Food Science (HNFS).
