After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand how behavior in organizations (Organizational Behavior) comes about. In addition, an understanding is developed of how individual abilities, group dynamic processes and organizational conditions affect motivation, which ultimately influences behavior. On this basis, the participants know how they can influence employees and teams as managers. To this end, they learn to comprehensively fill the leadership role, to set priorities and to evaluate different options for action (situational leadership) as a leader and also to apply them in (group dynamic) exercises or to solve current cases.
Managers strive to influence their employees and teams. To do this, they need a solid understanding of how the behavior of employees in the organizational context comes about and how they "lead" themselves in order to be able to exert an effective influence.
