BHVS205 Managerial Psychology
This course examines how to supervise others through delegation, expectations, performance and feedback. It exposes students to Theory X:boss versus Theory Y:coach, contingency theories of adaptive learning, and situational leadership, concluding that there is no one right way to supervise others. Students compare and contrast ways of managing staff, managing upwards, managing relationships with peers, colleagues, suppliers as well as clients. This course focuses on learning clear expectations and how to communicate back and forth in respectful, direct, specific and non-punitive ways. Because of varying backgrounds, students will participate in this course based on their own level of experience. The course is designed for experienced managers as well as those who have not managed people before.
