Leadership OKRs
OKR 1
ATTAINMENT OF AN MSM – 2025
Value: Excellence
Objective
Complete my masters of science in management, getting the most out of my classes, networking opportunities, relationships, and experiences throughout the year
Key result 1
Attend 100% of classes, actively engaging in every session whether that be participating or taking thorough notes.
Key result 2
Attend at least 2 networking events per month through Mendoza.
Key result 3
Create lasting friendships within my MSM cohort.
OKR 1 - Outcome Summary:
Once this OKR is accomplished, I know I will have gotten the most out of my MSM experience. My biggest fear is wishing I had done more during my time at ND which is why my core focus is taking advantage of every opportunity and resource that I have. Once I accomplish this goal, It will be bittersweet. I will be proud of what I accomplished, but knowing the amazing time I’ve had, It will be difficult to move on. I will celebrate by doing something special in the summer following graduation before I start working. I’m thinking of a trip somewhere with either friends or family. An obstacle to fulfilling this objective will be my time commitments to baseball. Being a member of the baseball team requires major time commitments, so I need to focus on managing my time and sacrificing my limited freetime for getting the most out of my MSM experience.
OKR 2
DEVELOPING THE LEADER THROUGH PRACTICE - 2025
Value: Leadership
Objective
Develop my leadership skills by participating in athletic, academic, personal and professional experiences; all with the goal in mind of becoming more adaptable as well as an effective leader by the conclusion of my MSM program.
Key result 1
Take on 1-2 leadership roles in every remaining group project, proving effective leadership to achieve a goal (Grow Irish, etc)
Key result 2
Following the next project, ask my learning team for feedback; use this feedback to improve and strengthen my leadership skills.
Key result 3
Participate in at least one leadership seminar, podcast, or anything offered through Mendoza, learn from this resource, and apply it to my leadership style.
OKR 2 - Outcome Summary:
By accomplishing this OKR, I will have taken the steps necessary to further develop key leadership skills in multiple ways. By utilizing my academics, athletics, professional and personal experiences, I’m confident that this will allow me to be a more effective leader. The goal of these results is to put myself out there, making myself vulnerable and uncomfortable. By taking on these new leadership roles in group projects, and then having group members assess my performance, this will help me get insight into my strengths and weaknesses and in all help me improve. A challenge will be balancing these additional tasks, considering my time commitments to baseball, this could limit my availability and time commitment. Although time management will come into play as another skill that will need to be improved, managing my time effectively and making sacrifices where I see fit will also be vital for my objective.
OKR 3
DEVELOP THE MAN THROUGH BASEBALL
Value: Relationships, Growth, and Balance
Objective
Utilize my baseball team experience to improve my personal growth, strengthen relations while passing on wisdom, and learning to maintain a healthy balance in my life; one that can be carried on throughout my life after sports.
Key result 1
Spend 10 minutes 3 times per week mentoring freshman baseball players, helping develop their leadership and baseball skills; as well as listening to their familiar problems and offering advice.
Key result 2
Dedicate 20 minutes per day to mental well-being practices, allowing for time to relax, let go, and move past the stresses of my schedule; preparing me to be the best version of myself
Key result 3
Volunteer for 1-2 non-baseball related community service events to widen my lens and connect to a broader scale of interests, while serving our community, making a positive impact outside of athletics.
OKR 3 - Outcome Summary:
Upon completion of this OKR, I will have utilized my position being on the baseball team at Notre Dame to assist in the development of my personal growth, strengthening relationships with my teammates, and practicing good habits in maintaining a balanced life. By helping and coaching my freshman teammates, I will not just help them develop their baseball skills, but their leadership skills which will help the program current and future. This will allow me to pass on wisdom and advice from the experiences I’ve had, which are very similar to theirs, strengthening my friendships with them. The practice of daily mental well-being will allow me to better manage the stresses of my busy schedule and maintain focus on what’s really important, allowing prioritization for the free time that I have. Additionally, by participating in these non-baseball community service events and activities it will allow for me to broaden my perspectives, and create opportunities for me to make a positive impact beyond baseball. I recognize the position I have being a student athlete at Notre Dame. While it does come with a lot of responsibility and stress, channeling that high demand can help me grow and help the growth and relations of others. By completing these results, I will be much better prepared to carry on these skills from baseball to my life outside of the field.
