Organizational Culture and Performance

3 credits · School of Public Policy

This course examines how leaders can improve organizational performance through effective human resources strategy and culture development. Moving beyond traditional views of HR as an administrative function, the course frames performance as an operating system that integrates talent, culture, technology, and design. Students will apply frameworks of meta-leadership, organizational psychology, data analytics, and design thinking to their own professional contexts, progressing on a leadership development arc from conceptual understanding to integration and practice. They will also learn about practical and evidence-informed strategies for navigating contemporary workplace challenges.
