        Organizational behavior has a major impact for many organizations to be successful. As for my first day of class, I started with a positive attitude and excitement toward this class lecture because this class will help me to work successfully at my future work place, as a manager or employee. The three main points that we talked from tonight introduction class are the importance of managing workplace diversity and cultures, creating a positive working environment, and adapting workplace changes. All those points are essential keys that I should not forget when it applies for my future workplace.

        Since workplace diversity has recently become a challenge for today’s companies, every day companies and organizations face diversity behaviors problems that occur inside the working place. We can find diversity everywhere, from variety of racial and ethnic groups to genders and psychological abilities.
