组织正在飞速的变革，就管理者而言，就需要以新的技能和态度来应对这种变革。领导组织这门课意在使大家意识到这种挑战并且更好的迎接挑战。简言之，本课目的就是使大家了解组织中经常存在的一些心理学现象和社会学现象，正是这些难以看见的力量影响着雇员和管理行为。
本课目的在于增加大家对这些力量的了解，这些力量存在于自身和他人身上，通过了解可以使其变得更加清晰、（基本上）能更易掌握，因此也就更容易进行分析和选择。我们将从个人、团体和组织的观点着手来考虑这些问题，通过诸如战略设计、政治及文化等多种观点分析，对管理观念和管理行动进行综合论述。
该科目采用多种教学手段，演讲与阅读相结合，学习小组会与观察员一起会面并得到观察员的反馈（这种作法开始于Lotte Bailyn的15.321暑期班）。你可以在四篇短篇报告中收集、分析自己的想法和观察结论。届时将在班上收集报告。
本课没有考试或字母评分制（虽然也可能会得到D或F），但会给予学生报告和学习小组大量反馈。虽然不能以传统的方式检验大家的学习，但还望大家能阅读资料，完成作业。只有全心的投入才能有更多的收获。经常学习可以互帮互助，是否能参加所有的课程并全身心的投入其中取决与我们每一个人。
学习本课与15.321（领导组织I）的学生只获得一个学分。
努力吧。

Organizations are changing rapidly. To deal with these changes requires new skills and attitudes on the part of managers. The goal of the Leading Organizations course is to make you aware of this challenge and equip you to better meet it. In short, the purpose is to acquaint you with some of psychological and sociological phenomena that regularly occur in organizations – the less visible forces that influence employee and managerial behavior.
The aim is to increase your understanding of these forces – in yourself and in others – so that as they become more visible, they become manageable (more or less) and hence subject to analysis and choice. We will look at these issues from individual, group and organizational points of view and organize our treatment of managerial thought and action from several analytic perspectives - namely, the strategic design, political and cultural perspectives.
The subject is taught in a multi-method fashion. There will be lectures and readings. There will be learning group meetings with observers and observer feedback (a process initiated in Lotte Bailyn's 15.321 summer course). There will be four short papers that will allow you to collect and analyze your reflections and observations. These papers will be collected in class on the date due.
There will not be any examinations or letter grades (although it is possible to get a D or F). But there will be lots of feedback on the papers and in the learning groups. I expect all of you to do the readings and assignments in spite of the fact that I will not test you on them through the traditional methods. You will only get as much out of this subject as you invest in it. Much of the learning is what you can teach each other, so it will be up to everyone to attend all sessions and get fully involved.
Students receive only one grade for 15.321, Leading Organizations I, and this course.
Onward.
