What Is Organizational Behavior?

OB- Related skills are the ticket to ride the virtuous career spiral

OB combines knowledge from many different disciplines in such a way as to help us better understand and manage people at work, but the focus here is really you.  Your ability to intelligently and efficiently gain clarify a wide body of knowledge and be able to both communicate it to others and to apply it to your life.  And by that I mean both personal and professional.  We often try to separate the two, but they are forever intertwined, and we simply can not be two completely different people without ending up conflicted and failing.  What career field you intend to go into, or even how often that changes, because it will, the knowledge and skills you're going to learn in this class apply to every organization because nobody works alone.  Not even professional golfers and single's tennis players.  They have coaches, managers, dieticians, strength trainers, agents, etc that they interact with on a daily basis to continually improve.
