Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Every manager runs an unwritten theory of why people behave the way they do at work. Most of these theories are built out of a few personal experiences and are wrong in expensive ways.
Organizational behaviour is the version with evidence behind it.
Where the guessing costs money
You raise someone's bonus and their output does not move. You run an engagement survey, get a number, and have no idea what to do with it. A team that was fine six months ago has stopped talking in meetings and nobody can say when it started. Your best performer resigns and the exit interview says "new challenge", which tells you nothing. And a culture programme launches with a poster campaign and is quietly abandoned by March.
Each of these has a documented explanation and a method behind it. That is what this course is.
Three levels, in order
The individual first. Six personality frameworks — MBTI, DISC, PAEI, Belbin, Hogan, Big Five, 16 Personalities — with the honest account of what each one can and cannot tell you. Then stress and burnout, diagnosed at company level rather than treated as a personal failing, and connected to the turnover numbers.
Then motivation and attitudes: what people's motives actually are, how motivation converts into performance, Motivation 3.0 and why bonuses stop working on non-routine work, plus eight lessons on engagement — Gallup Q12, the twelve elements, the three generations of engagement practice, and what to do with managers whose scores are bad.
From the team to the whole organisation
Then the group: team development stages, diagnosing a team before designing anything for it, the GRPI model, and team building for remote and hybrid teams. And finally the organisation: organizational development as a full project cycle with entry, assessment, intervention, ROI evaluation, Kotter's eight steps, and company culture built through behaviour, rituals and hiring rather than through values on a wall.

What this course will not do
It will not give you one framework that explains everybody. Anyone selling that is selling a personality test. What it gives you is seven or eight lenses and the judgement to know which one fits the situation in front of you. Enrol now and start the first lesson today.
Who this course is for:
- Managers who have noticed that the same management approach produces different results with different people
- HR and OD professionals who need the theory behind the processes they already run
- Business and MBA students taking organizational behaviour and wanting the applied version
- Consultants diagnosing why a client's team behaves the way it does
- Team leads dealing with disengagement, burnout or a team that has stopped talking
- Founders whose company crossed the size where informal culture stopped holding
- Anyone who has run an engagement survey, seen the score, and had no idea what to do next
