Organizational Behavior: How to Manage People

IESE connects people management with motivation, leadership, collaboration and organizational culture. The course examines how these elements support or obstruct a business direction. It suits learners who want to explain workplace behavior in context, using organizational examples rather than assume a motivational technique operates independently of culture.

What you will learn

• Examine motivation and leadership.
• Explore collaboration within business teams.
• Connect organizational culture with strategy.

Who this suits

Before you enroll

Apply examples to a fictional or anonymized team. Employment rules, compensation practices and organizational policies vary by location and employer. Check the course context before applying a technique, and seek feedback from people affected by a proposed change.
