Onward and Upward

Lets start with Happy Easter! Yes, it is Easter Sunday and I've been working on catching homework. I know you are thinking homework? I thought you would be finished with school for now? As I said in the last blog I started Keller Graduate School after I finished my Bachelor's. I'm currently working my way through Leadership and Organizational Behavior. This week I managed to fall behind and spent most of the holiday trying to catch up.

That said I'm learning a lot about leadership and different aspects of organizational behavior. I'm surprised I'm enjoying this class. So, what have I learned so far in graduate school?

  1. You write a lot of papers
  2. You do even more research
  3. Which means you read a lot
  4. Your papers are more subjective

I have a long way to go and I'm really just getting started but I am enjoying it. It is definitely challenging.
