Psychology for Managers

Wherever people meet, psychology is involved. The "theory of the soul" is nothing other than perceiving and correctly assessing the behavior of the other person.

For managers, therefore, it can only be an advantage to have the basics of psychological knowledge. After all, professional experience and common sense are often not enough to guide employees, unite different types of people in a team and resolve conflicts.

In many cases, however, corporate psychology is not so easy to implement: Depending on the situation, people's understanding, feelings and behavior may differ. Their actions may then seem strange or contradictory to outsiders; in any case, they are difficult to interpret. What the person thinks, what exactly he wants, and what goals he is pursuing remain unclear to others.

However, if employees feel understood on a deeper level, they will generally be more satisfied. As a supervisor, you can generate more motivation and performance in others by arousing positive emotions.

In addition to professional competence, developing a good knowledge of human nature can be a decisive key to success. In order to familiarize you with this complex topic, you will receive a solid introduction in our management seminar and learn the most important basics.
