MB the OT

When I first started OT school in January of 2019 we were asked to draw a picture following a rubric that portrayed our perspective of a leader. Now in July of 2020 we are asked to follow the rubric again see how our perspective has changed after learning more about being a leader throughout OT school. When looking at the previous drawing from January and comparing it to the current picture, my perspective of leadership has vastly stayed the same. One of the main differences that I can see in the portraits is that in January I believed that organization was more important than creativity when serving in a leadership role. However, in my new portrait the hair is a mixture of curly and straight meaning that creativity is also important to consider when being an effective leader. Everyone learns differently and sometimes a leader may need to be creative in order to reach out to certain clients to be able to meet them where they are.

We all have a different belief system when it comes to the things that happen to us in our daily lives, as well as why those things happen to us. Some of us have an internal locus of control and some of us have an external locus of control. When an individual has an internal locus of control, they take the things that happen and make them a positive opportunity or experience. They believe that although something unfortunate has happened to them they ultimately can make the decision on how it impacts them. These types of people do not worry about tomorrow because they know they have no control over certain events. Furthermore, some individuals have an external locus of control. These types of people believe that events and things happen to them. These people tend to be more negative and try to think of different reasons why a certain solution will not work for the problem they are facing.              I have taken the questionnaire and was scored based off of Rotter’s Locus of Contro
