How I’m Building Huntsman
USU Jon M. Huntsman School of Business
From snowy walks up Old Main Hill, to thundering basketball games in the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum, to late night study sessions in the library, I loved my time at Utah State University and the opportunities it offered me. Attending USU opened my eyes to different perspectives, places, and things — I made friends from small western towns and big international cities. I studied abroad in France and interned on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. These opportunities, which shaped me as a person and helped me find my way down a rewarding career path, were made possible by the vision and generosity of others.

How I Spent My Summer
USU Jon M. Huntsman School of Business

Huntsman Inaugural Emeriti Luncheon
USU Jon M. Huntsman School of Business
This spring marked the inauguration of our new Huntsman Hall. As new doors were opened and the dust settled, we took time to reflect on the school’s journey and the legacy that Huntsman Hall houses. And so the inaugural Emeriti Luncheon came to be. A perfect marriage of the old and new, the luncheon bridged the gap and provided an opportunity for current faculty to interact with their predecessors. The day also included tours of the new facility and, of course, no visit to campus is complete without Aggie Ice Cream. Senior Associate Dean, Department Head, and EY Professor, Larry Walther, states, “The Emeriti luncheon provided a great opportunity for me to showcase our new building to recently-retired friends, and to meet for the first time some of the not-so-recently-retired stalwarts who gave so much to initially establish the School of Business that we enjoy today.”

Lead with Distinction
USU Jon M. Huntsman School of Business
A few weeks ago I had the distinct pleasure of spending a day with Dick Motta, a great Aggie who spent a lifetime teaching young men about basketball and life. Motta won at every level of coaching, leading Grace High School to the Idaho state championship, Weber State College to three conference championships, and the NBA Washington Bullets to their only championship, in 1978. He was known as a players’ coach, and his players, including former Utah Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan, were fiercely loyal to him. This from a man who never actually played the game beyond high school.

Managing Entitled Employees
USU Jon M. Huntsman School of Business
In today’s workplace, more and more employees are displaying feelings of entitlement which is creating problems and frustrations for managers. Entitled individuals have a unique way of interacting and communicating with others, including managers. On the one hand, they have a strong desire for autonomy. Entitled individuals dislike the idea of being beholden to others or being told what to do. On the other hand, they also exhibit a strong preference for what is known as sociotropy, meaning that they place a high value on the approval and affection of others. These dual—and somewhat conflicting—preferences for interaction and communication create a significant challenge for managers dealing with entitled employees.

My Huntsman Experience
USU Jon M. Huntsman School of Business
My experience in the Huntsman School of Business has been transformative. I came to college thinking I would pick a major, finish school quickly, and start my career. I never expected to discover the entire world at my fingertips in Logan, but the Huntsman School provides its students with countless opportunities to do just that. I am extremely grateful to have been involved in numerous service projects, traveled throughout the world, and interacted with business and government leaders. These opportunities have helped me to recognize the positive impact that I can make on the world. As Jon Huntsman said, “Wealth isn’t always measured in dollar signs. We each have time, talent and creativity, all of which can be powerful forces for positive change.” I remember sitting in a humble home in Trujillo, Peru, asking a hopeful entrepreneur about his business plans and thinking, “THIS is what business is about; helping people.” I will never forget the experiences like this that have changed me as a person and expanded my vision to truly “Dare Mighty Things.”
