The answers are rarely found in job titles, charisma, or experience alone. They are found in the psychological forces that shape how people think, feel, behave, and work together. In this course, organizational psychologist and Charles University lecturer Filip Kahoun will show you how to apply these principles in a practical way to become a more effective leader, motivate your team, and build a stronger workplace culture.
The course is divided into 3 parts.
Part 1: Lead Yourself First
Before you can lead others effectively, you need to understand how to lead yourself. You’ll learn how to strengthen the psychological foundations of effective leadership, including self-confidence, resilience, optimism, and emotional intelligence. You’ll also discover how motivation works, how to recognize the early signs of burnout, and how to protect your energy in demanding work environments.
Part 2: Understand What Really Motivates People
Many leaders assume motivation comes from money, perks, or pressure. The reality is far more complex. You’ll learn the psychological drivers that influence motivation, why fear and perceived unfairness can quietly destroy engagement, and how to create an environment where people are more likely to perform at their best. You’ll also explore practical strategies for keeping remote and hybrid teams motivated and connected.
