Zenger, &#8220;What Separates Great HR Leaders from the Rest&#8221;). Notable challenges for HR professionals include efficiently sourcing and integrating technology in meaningful ways, along with regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Burke-Smalley says one of the best parts of teaching is staying in touch with students she taught decades ago, whether it be to learn of the family they&#8217;ve started, the career they&#8217;ve pursued or the differences in this world they&#8217;ve made. \u00a0The best advice she ever received was to epouse a\u00a0<em>healthy<\/em>\u00a0indifference to this world. \u00a0The best advice she can give to students is that a return on your education doesn&#8217;t come without investing in it and don&#8217;t be afraid to start at entry-level \u2013 that&#8217;s where you&#8217;ll learn the business and gain credibility as you progress.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about College of Business Graduate Programs, visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.utc.edu\/college-business\/academic-programs\/graduate-programs\/\">https:\/\/www.utc.edu\/college-business\/academic-programs\/graduate-programs\/\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you interested in the Flexible or 100% Online MBA program in the UTC College of Business?
