LD310 - Organizational Behavior

Change is inherent in innovation, so it is vital for keeping organizations competitive, but it is not easy. Using real-world cases, this course investigates what factors lead to either successful change or failure. This course will focus on the creative, disruptive, and destructive potential of change. We will analyze the three vantage points of change as an individual, within an organization and in terms of team leadership. We will also explore evolution of change with a focus on the discipline from 1940 to 2020, through change leadership experts of Lewin, Kotter, Hamel, Nohria, and Wheatley to name a few. We will study the aspects of application-based learning with an emphasis on learning to lead and not just manage change in our professional and personally environments.

This course is a practical guide to applying organizational behavior research to your work for improved results. You’ll start by taking an assessment to identify your leadership style, which can help you lead authentically and resolve conflict in your organization. We’ll teach you tips for building a positive company culture with lowered stress so that you and your team can thrive and produce better work.
