Peter Drucker, a pioneer in the field of management, once said that people have a perverse tendency to behave like human beings. Of course, we are not machines, and certainly not programmable. But through the study of organizational behavior, we can gain insights into what makes people tick within a work context. Increasing your understanding of your own behavior and that of your colleagues, teams and leaders, is an important first step to bringing positive change to how you and your organization work.

TOP REVIEWS FROM ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR: HOW TO MANAGE PEOPLE
I have really learned a lot from this course. We got to know about the attitudes and behaviour of employees in the work environment.
Awesome cause here, that makes understanding how people behave and to motivate them. It has changed my way of thinking and for me to judge less as to why people do what they do. I recommend this all.
I've learned a lot about management and leadership in an organization from this course. And the professor is so clear, logical and organized in teaching. Highly recommend!
The course has provided some useful theoretical perspectives and practices that allow us to perform our work better, especially in managing people.
