After successful completion of the course, students are able to
understand how behavior in organizations (Organizational Behavior) comes about. For this purpose, an understanding of how individual abilities, group dynamic processes, and organizational framework conditions affect motivation, which ultimately influences behavior. On this basis, students know how they can impact employees and teams as managers. To this end, they learn to comprehensively fill the leadership role, set priorities, and evaluate different options for action (situational leadership) as a leader and also apply them in (group dynamic) exercises or to solve current cases.
Managers strive to influence their employees and teams. To do so, however, they need a firm understanding of how employee behavior occurs in the organizational context and how they "lead" themselves in order to be able to exert influence effectively. To this end, students learn in this course:
- The basics of behavior in organizations (individual, group, organization, and motivation) as a Performance Core.
- The possibilities of influence through self-leadership, team leadership, and leadership in an organizational context
- Filling leadership roles, developing a leadership identity, and setting priorities
