Classes
I teach one
of the core courses at Stanford's Graduate School of Business --
Organizational Behavior. I also will be teaching a short
elective course called ‘Crafting Effective Communication.’
|
| Organizational Behavior |
This course relates existing theory and research to organizational problems by reviewing basic concepts in the following areas: individual motivation and behavior, decision making, interpersonal communication and influence, small group behavior, and individual, dyadic, and inter-group conflict and cooperation. The course focuses on the ways in which organizations and their members affect one another and exposes students to frameworks for diagnosing and dealing with problems in organizational settings.

Crafting Effective Communication |
Many people are ambivalent,
if not disdainful, of those who seek to wield influence
over others, but interpersonal persuasion is a key
mechanism by which
things get done. For those considering
careers in management, it is important to be able to
craft a message that others find persuasive in order to
sway their opinion or shore up their support. After
taking this course, you will be able to: (1) craft
effective communication in written and oral forms, (2)
develop techniques for influencing others through
interpersonal communication, and (3) understand the role
of verbal and nonverbal messages in building cooperation
and leading change in an organization |
