This part-time Master's programme is aimed at managers and consultants. It aims to provide you with socio-psychologically sound knowledge for sustainable leadership and consulting. To this end, you will take a psychodynamically oriented interdisciplinary perspective when studying, which builds on psychoanalysis and combines it with approaches in humanist and systemic psychology as well as economics and social sciences in order to enable modern leadership and counselling.

The course places great emphasis on the transfer of theory and practice. You will be able to reflect on your own practical experience and test new, scientifically based methods in a trusted setting.

The contents of the studies are, among others: organisational development from a psychodynamic perspective; organisations in transition; leading and being led; leadership and containment; psychodynamically oriented communication; coaching; supervision; control of organisational development, group and team processes; crisis and conflict management; Balint oriented group teaching supervision.

As part of your studies, you will train in various competencies that are central to management and consulting functions:

• Analysis and diagnostic competence: psychodynamically sound understanding of psychosocial dynamics in organisations and different corporate cultures; strengthening of self-perception and perception of others in different contexts
• Leadership competence: understanding and practice of leadership with a goal of sustainability
• Consulting competence: psychodynamically sound planning, implementation and evaluation of consulting processes
• Management skills: changing organizational cultures and associated structures, as well as designing and planning training courses and workshops.
• Conflict Competences: conflict Analysis, Conflict Management and Conflict Resolution

You can use these competencies in numerous areas of application: in the design of leadership processes, personnel and team development, organizational development, change management, innovation management and strategy planning, mediation and conflict management, moderation, management consulting, coaching as well as individual and group supervision.

Um aktuelle gesellschaftliche Transformationen zu reflektieren und Teilhabeprozesse zu fördern, braucht es spezifische Kenntnisse und Handlungsperspektiven. Dieses Zusatzangebot vermittelt zwischen Theoriekonzepten und berufspraktischen Grundlagen im Bereich der Gender-, Transcultural- und Diversity-Kompetenzen für (Organisations-)Beratung und Personalentwicklungsprozesse (bspw. Teamentwicklung, Coaching und Supervision). Im ersten Teil werden Grundlagen für die Beratungspraxis erarbeitet, der zweite Teil gibt konkrete Einblicke in damit verbundene Berufsfelder. Eine kritische Reflexion der Konzepte begleitet die Veranstaltungen.

Das Zusatzangebot bietet für Studierende des MA Leadership und Beratung die Möglichkeit, sich fokussiert mit den Feldern transkultureller und geschlechtsreflektierter Beratung auseinanderzusetzen und ihre Bedeutung für die eigene Praxis als Führungskraft oder Berater:in zu reflektieren. Die beiden Teilmodule erweitern das curriculare Angebot in den Seminaren „Gender und Diversity in Organisationen“, „Organisationsentwicklung und Unternehmenskultur: Organisationen als emotionale Arena“ sowie „Ethisch-moralische Dilemmata in Führung und Beratung“. Sie bieten damit einen Raum für eine vertiefte Auseinandersetzung mit Schlüsselthemen der Führung und Beratung und ihrer sich wandelnden Bedeutung im Rahmen gesellschaftlicher Transformationsprozesse.

Das fakultativeZusatzangebot ist zweigeteilt, die Teilmodule I und II können unabhängig voneinander besucht werden. Teil I hat einen stärkeren Fokus auf berufspraktische Kenntnisse zu Gender, Transkulturalität und Diversity, Teil II legt den Schwerpunkt auf Berufsfelder, in denen transkulturelle, geschlechtsreflektierte und diversitätssensible Beratung relevant ist.

Zeitrahmen: Zwei Mal neun Stunden, samstags 9:30 – 17 Uhr, sonntags 9:30 – 13 Uhr (inkl. Pausen).

Zielgruppe: Studierende des MA Kulturwissenschaften und des MA Leadership und Beratung.

Nächster Termin: 3. und 4. September 2022, Anmeldungen bitte an katja.overmann(at)ipu-berlin.de.
