Leadership: Theory and Applications

Dr. Shontarius Aikens

I have taken several management courses throughout my four years, but the one that has shown me the most would be Theory and Applications in Leadership (BUSN 462) with Dr. Shontarius Aikens. This class has taught me a lot of aspects of leadership and has helped me in my career in human resources. While interning at RDO Equipment Co., I have dealt with many leadership styles; this class has helped me adapt and learn from my work peers.

When I first thought of doing an internship, I immediately pictured an office job, which is something I didn’t want to do. However, being able to work at a baseball stadium in the summer is something I never even thought of.
