This course investigates how and why complexities increase as individuals form groups or teams, and as various groups form organizational systems. Students learn how to bridge leadership-management roles, how to distinguish between required systems and emergent systems, and how to assess ego-motivation, eco-motivation, and employee ownership in designing effective teams and workplaces. Patterns, principles and factors that support or inhibit conscious, socially responsible organizations, including economic factors, are explored from many angles so students recognize alternative choices for organizational structures and cultures within corporate and non-corporate settings. This course is taken concurrently with Communication Skills for Business Transformation.
