Leadership is not trying to be some-

one else. Leadership is being your

authentic self.

Being authentic means having high

emotional intelligence. Daniel Gole-

man in his 1995 book, Emotional

Intelligence, defi ned emotional intel-

ligence (EQ) as the four competences

that infl uence 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 refl ect 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

The theme of the

2012 AAFCS

Annual Confer-

ence focused on

leadership and

leadership devel-

opment for family

and consumer sci-

ences profession-

als. As we heard

at the conference and as we each try

to defi ne leadership ourselves, we

fi nd there are many defi nitions of the

concept. The foundation for almost

all of the defi nitions is “the power of

infl uence.”

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 fi rst 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 infl uence who you

are. Self-leadership is self-knowledge

– as the Oracle of Delphi said thou-

sands 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 differ-

ent. We need to know our strengths

and build our leadership skills based

on them. This is a major premise of

family and consumer sciences!

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 specifi c

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)

Sue Buck, CFCS,

President

Thank you, Nasco, for sponsoring this issue of The FACS!

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 – espe-

cially 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

infl uence.” It is our challenge to use

them ably so that we lead ourselves to

competently lead others.

Ethics of Care: Lens for AAFCS Code of EthicsBy Jody L. Roubanis, CFCS,

2012-2013 Chair of the AAFCS

Ethics Committee

A profession’s code of ethics pro-

vides a set of guidelines for the

ethical practice of those profession-

als 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 gener-

ally remain consistent throughout the

organization’s history, it is important

for members of a professional orga-

nization to periodically refl ect 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 identifi cation and the

development of the Family and Con-

sumer Sciences Body of Knowledge.

The purpose of this brief article is

to make the claim that because the

ethics of care is the predominant per-

spective in the AAFCS Mission state-

ment and FCS Body of Knowledge,

it should be used as a lens to refl ect

upon and possibly reconsider the

AAFCS Code of Ethics. This writing

is intended as background on why

the 2012-2013 AAFCS Ethics Com-

mittee is soliciting participation from

the general AAFCS membership to

refl ect on the AAFCS Code of Ethics

during the fall of 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 follow-

ing statement: The mission of the

American Association of Family &

Consumer Sciences is to provide

leadership and support for profes-

sionals whose work assists indi-

viduals, 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 identifi es leadership and

support as important roles for AAFCS

members with the focus of assisting

individuals, families, and communi-

ties in securing an optimal quality of

life. Some ethical tenets articulated

in the AAFCS Mission include: col-

laboration/connection, responsibility

to others, and attentiveness to others.

These ethical attributes are highly sa-

lient 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 individ-

ual 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) identifi es the meeting

of the needs of others as the funda-

mental 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

refl ect on the AAFCS Code of Ethics

to ensure that the intent of the organi-

zation’s mission statement and body

of knowledge are communicated in

the code.

AAFCS Member Janett Gibbs Receives IFHE DistinguishedService Award The International Federation for

Home Economics (IFHE) present-

ed the IFHE Distinguished Service

Award 2012 to Janett Gibbs (mid-

dle in photo) on July 21, 2012, at

the IFHE Congress in Melbourne,

Australia for her long and meritori-

ous service to the Federation.

Born in 1922 in Hazlehurst, Mis-

sissippi, Janet became a home

economics teacher and educator.

She specialized in family resource

management and earned a cer-

tifi cate 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 profes-

sional 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 fi nancial management.

One of the special benefi ts Janett

has been involved with for a num-

ber of years is disaster relief in the

Caribbean. In 1995 after Hurricane

Louis, she initiated the donation

of a 20ft container of educational

materials, inclusive of books and

equipment for home economics in

Antigua and Barbuda.

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 repre-

sentative 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 accom-

plished if we make the effort.

Congratulations, Janett!

Announcements2012-13 “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 mis-

sion involves putting our expertise

to work in the world around us.

Many of the important issues fac-

ing society have a direct connec-

tion to family and consumer sci-

ences content, and our individual

and collective work has a positive

impact!

With that in mind, AAFCS encour-

ages members and affi liates to

“take it to the streets”: to put our

knowledge to work on the “streets”

we frequent. In recent years, “Tak-

ing It to the Streets” (TIS) focused

on combating H1N1 and obesity.

When considering current na-

tional and global economic issues,

along with the FCS Alliance pro-

posed impact statement related

to this topic, and member input,

the theme for TIS for the next two

years is “The Impact of the Econ-

omy on the Family: Strategies and

Solutions.”

What does this mean for FCS

professionals and AAFCS affi li-

ates, 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.

Suggested Roles

Affi liate and AAFCS Partner Roles

• Use this issue as a

conference theme, speaker

topic, or affi liate activity

• Provide state contacts and

report your affi liate’s activi-

ties as a whole. Encourage

individual members to report

their activities as well. This

helps us to measure involve-

ment 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 im-

proved fi nancial 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 sec-

ondary and higher education FCS

classes have a component linked

to economics. Take this oppor-

tunity to utilize TIS resources to

enhance your work and bring it to

the classroom “streets.”
