Org. Development & Leadership

This course offers you a meaningful learning opportunity to understand what it takes for organizations - a group of people with a shared goal – to work together and get things done to achieve sustainability goals. This presupposes a good understanding of human motivation and drivers of behavior and how to problem solve and make decisions in complex situations. These also happen to be the highest ranked among the 21st century skills. To learn about how organizations operate and how to lead them effectively, we will use readings, exercises, and case studies focused on sustainability initiatives among other learning methods. In addition, you will engage in analysis, diagnosis, and problem-solving exercises focusing on one organization of your choice.
