The study of leadership and organizational behavior increases our understanding of the complex nature of employees and how their individual interactions impact corporations, government agencies, academic institutions and other working environments. Leadership, on the one hand, involves making sound judgments to inspire others to perform well while working toward a common goal. Organizational behaviors, on the other hand, reflect the impact of environmental characteristics and job duties on the health, safety and wellbeing of employees. Therefore, leadership and organizational behavior are inextricably linked. To understand this connection, this course presents the primary theories of leadership which drive interaction and the key elements of organizational behavior. The course helps students build knowledge and skills to develop protocols for leadership and organizational behavior that result in increased efficiency and productivity in the workplace.
