Q Introduction Assessment of both desirable and objectionable dynamics across a myriad of personal, group, structural, and regulatory levels challenges even the most experienced leaders and managers. The aptitude for evaluating comportment patterns to measure future outcomes predictively allows decision-makers to gauge the potential effect of their choices before acting. During this course, students will seek to improve their abilities to leverage knowledge of OB to make decisions that result in expected and advantageous consequences. This process begins with the selection of a real-world, organizational behavior topic or issue identified in the course materials. **Please note that this project is a team project.
