Strategic Management of Organizational Behavior

Introduction:

Strategic Management of Organizational Behavior provides a comprehensive framework for enhancing workplace environments, increasing employee satisfaction, and setting achievable goals that foster high engagement levels. This approach enables leaders to improve organizational settings through the effective use of data-driven insights and necessary adjustments.

Participants will gain insights into managing organizational behavior, the role of management, and the complex processes underlying effective leadership.
