Content

The course covers important aspects of (positive) psychology and well-being research as well as related psychological concepts (emotions, decision making, positive / authentic leadership or "dark triad" personality traits). The course offers insights into important theoretical concepts as well as practical implications for entrepreneurship. In addition, the course provides a practice platform for students to learn about and try out different methods for improving their own well-being and how to incorporate these into the entrepreneurship context. The continuous practice of interventions from (positive) psychology as well as subject-related methods throughout the course is mandatory. The course consists of a total of 6 to 7 sessions, each focusing on specific topics in general as well as specifically in the founding context: - pos. psychology and well-being - Decision making and emotions - Positive/authentic leadership and conflict management - Narcissism, Machiavellianism and Psychopathy ("Dark Triad") - Depression and burnout In addition, homework assignments and practical methods and tools will be discussed and addressed collaboratively within the course in each session. Throughout the course, students are required to prepare three to four short, individual reflections on the tools used. At the end of the course, students will look back on the entire course and their own personal development in a large overall reflection. At the end of the course, students work in groups to present a scholarly poster and a presentation on a topic (see above) in the entrepreneurship environment. The first session begins with a brief course overview, organizational elements, and getting to know each other. The second session focuses on positive psychology and well-being in general, before more detailed links to entrepreneurship are covered in the third session. Session 4 focuses on systematic judgment and decision errors (cognitive biases) and concepts related to emotions. Session 5 looks at the "dark side" and discusses depression, burnout, and the "dark triad" of personality traits. Finally, Session 6 is the review day for the poster presentations. All sessions follow a highly interactive, self-experienced, and lively teaching style supported by an active style of collaboration. This course can be very intense, including on a personal level. Therefore, absolute discretion, no discrimination and an open but professional level of communication is guaranteed and ensured by the course coordinators. An open-minded course atmosphere is created, allowing room for each individual's perspectives, opinions, experiences and characteristics.
