Trond Varlid
Organizational Behavior and HRM
Various skills and knowledge are required to be successful in business. Arguably one of the most difficult skills to master, however, is managing and dealing with people.
Are leaders born or made? Why do people and organizations tend to resist change? How can you bring about change in your team or organization when it is needed? How do you empower and motivate your team to be successful and achieve their best performance?
These are some of the key themes we will cover in our Organizational Behavior and Leadership class—and I look forward to your active participation.
See you in class!
Tadahiro Wakasugi
Global/Asia/Japan, Marketing and Strategy, Organizational Behavior and HRM
Welcome to GLOBIS! In my class, we will tackle real challenges through cases and discuss the issues with your classmates. My hope is that you will not only be equipped with tools or techniques but also develop your own “wisdom” that helps you pursue your personal mission. I hope you’ll have a pleasurable and meaningful time with us!
Kenya Yoshino
Critical and Analytical Skills, Management Philosophy, Organizational Behavior and HRM
"Why do we live?
This simple question is what I want you to think in my course. This world is full of possibilities, but the "time"(one of our most precious resource) is limited.
Therefore, we have to choose in which aspect we would like to focus.
Being able to answer the above question gives you a clear criteria on where to focus.
Maybe no one can answer the question with 100% certainty, but it is important that we keep searching for the answer. I am looking forward to discuss with you in this never ending quest."
Axel Wellbrock
Organizational Behavior and HRM
People make the difference in times of technological changes and innovation. Join me on a discovery tour of different aspects of leadership. I hope that by working together on real world cases, you will be able to gain valuable individual insights for your own leadership journey.
