This course is designed to help leaders understand and influence human behavior on an individual, interpersonal, and institutional level. The foundation is a knowledge of individual differences and how those unique characteristics affect each person’s thoughts, actions, and motivations. However, it is not enough to simply understand people on their own, separate from others and their environment. Teams and groups have a powerful impact on their members and people behave differently around others than they do alone. Similarly, organizational structures, systems, and cultures have a strong, but seemingly invisible, effect on what people believe, what people say, and what people do. Effective leaders know how to analyze and manage all these complex factors in order to achieve the organization’s objectives. 000153 MSM Single Course 3 1.00 Leadership Master's Degree Program Advanced Career Professional No No 0001532 0
