The Psychology of Leadership begins with a focus on the leader's relationship with their team.

Publisher's summary
You are invited into the classroom of one of America’s best social psychology professors to explore surprising insights into the science of our behavior and the secrets of understanding people.
Do you ever wish you better understood why people do what they do? What governs our thoughts and actions? How do we influence others and vice versa?
This eye-opening audio course introduces you to the science of human social psychology and offers surprising answers to these and many other questions.
Our social situations can lead us to act in unexpected ways. Depending on the context, we can soar with boundless joy or get mired in frustration and aggression. Sometimes, we demonstrate deep compassion toward others, sometimes prejudice. In 18 engaging lectures, Andrew Ward, an NIH-funded psychology professor at Swarthmore College, reveals the unseen forces behind social behaviors. He helps you grasp the psychology of our relationships and interactions. Under his guidance, you will explore the most essential concepts in social psychology.
UC Riverside Vice Chair of Psychology Sonja Lyubomirsky writes, “At Swarthmore College, Professor Andrew Ward’s courses are among the most popular, and it’s easy to see why.” Delivered with clarity and enthusiasm, his lectures will prompt you to reflect on a myriad of examples of surprising behavior. Armed with a new awareness of social influences, you will learn to better understand and interact with those around you.
This course is part of the Learn25 collection.
Critic reviews
“I taught alongside Andrew Ward at Swarthmore College for more than two decades. He is just a superstar teacher. His lectures are clear, engaging, funny and always about important things. I can’t count how many psychology majors were created in Andrew’s classes. Social psychology is Andrew’s wheelhouse, and people who listen to his course are in for a treat, as well as an education!” (Dr. Barry Schwartz, visiting professor at Berkeley Haas and Emeritus professor of Psychology at Swarthmore College)
“At Swarthmore College, Professor Andrew Ward’s courses are among the most popular, and it’s easy to see why. He infuses every lecture with great enthusiasm, along with a passion for conveying the key lessons of his field to all of his students.” (Sonja Lyubomirsky, professor and vice chair of psychology at University of California Riverside)
