Do you want to better understand the people you lead?

You will learn how to motivate employees, resolve conflicts, support individual development, and apply psychological principles in everyday managerial practice.

Leverage psychology for effective people management

Learn to resolve conflicts, motivate, and develop teams

Studying the Psychology for Managers specialization at NEWTON University was, for me, not only about gaining valuable knowledge, but also an intensive lesson in balancing work, study, and life — and a chance to step out of my comfort zone. Three years full of AHA moments (and even more questions) proved to me that it was all worth it. I learned to better understand myself and others, to challenge established patterns of thinking, and to handle stress with more perspective. The program opened up new professional and personal horizons, and I’m excited to keep building on them in the MBA program.
