Some of the materials that we went over within this course include:

1. Examining the theories of leadership, comparing, and contrasting them, showing similarities and differences.
2. Examined group dynamics, power, and influence in organizations.
3. Gained an understanding of how to compare and contrast the sources of conflict and stress in organizations.
4. Recognized the theories of motivation and how they influence organizational behavior.
5. Evaluated the various types of performance appraisals and how they relate to an organization and organization’s development.
6. Analyzed how organizations adapt to and confront change, both internal and external.

The main goals and objectives of this course are: 1) to increase student understanding of the complexity of managing human behavior in organizations, 2) to explore basic theories and concepts of behavior in an organizational setting, and 3) to apply management problem-solving techniques to obtain optimal organizational behavior.

My initial goals for this course were to develop a better understanding of the importance of organizational behavior and the different leadership theories. I also had the desire to learn how to be a more effective leader within my own organization.
