    Course Overview

    Organizational leadership and management skills are critical to success in business, in the voluntary sector, community services, and any profession where you must achieve results through others. The Certificate in Organizational Behavior will help you develop the ability to influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute towards the effectiveness and success of your organization.

This knowledge of individuals' perceptions, motivational attitudes and behavior will enable managers to not only understand themselves better, but also to adopt appropriate  managerial policies and leadership styles to increase their effectiveness.

    The Organizational Development Certificate provides an introduction to the concepts and practices related to systems and technologies that facilitate organizational change and enhance organizational effectiveness.
