I found this course to be very informative. I really enjoyed the Videos and i was very much surprised at the interactive sessions. I am encouraged to complete other courses.

A huge THANK YOU!!!!!!!

the most you read and discuss the most you win knowledge and to have course like the foundations of every day leadership in such a convenient time with your job and another social affairs is so great and i really appreciate the way of learning and teaching process and the given materials. wish the next course applications of everyday leadership to be the same as the last on. finally, i would like to thank our instructors for their valuable interests and contributions.

This course is sorely out of date and in need of a refresh. Using 2012 statistics to describe the state of global terrorism today may be an interesting history lesson, but only serves to show how much more dangerous previously safe regions are today.

A heartfelt thanks to the coaches especially the great author GREGORY NORTHCRAFT Thanks to the university that brought out this constellation of specialists and all thanks and appreciation to the great COURSERA site that allows the ambitious to develop their skills and develop their education and help them progress in their jobs or change their career path, all thanks in advance, and I will always be at Meet your expectations.

Concepts are easy to understand and follow. Professor Northcraft is one of my favorite professors in Coursera. His courses are well-structured and get deeper and deeper gradually. The case study cases and the examples he used to explain were practical. Follow professor's pace I found myself completed the course without difficulties (oppositely it has given me lots of chances to think and discuss with others). Highly recommended.

Very insightful , full of detailed explanation about team building very effective in identifying personal traits of a leader especially the concept of inclusive leader was inspiring and mind changing.

This course help me understand the basic of leadership, it has a very simplifies structure and logical approach to everyday leadership. It also helps get the dynamics in a team and the importance of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.

Great course! Tons to learn about the art of leadership!

Extremely cumbersome, unfriendly and the worst: the grades are given partially by other students who see your name.

If you have an Israeli or Jewish surname: DO NOT STEP INTO THIS TRAP because no matter how excellent your assignment will be- you will still get an extremely low grade.

To sum it: Not worth it. Why bother?

What a wonderful course! I started much slower but picked vast interest just after Module 1. The secret lies in taking notes, attentiveness and total dedication especially when you fail an assignment at first. All information is relevant and examinable including the submissions from the contributors. Not to mention the financial aid option which was a benefactor opportunity to me. All my 3 instructors (Kari, Elizabeth, and Denise) were excellent but Professor Kari Keating was exceptional. Presumably, she is a naturally-gifted teacher and I don't remember of anything from her presentations that i didn't understand. The lectures/classes were; so smooth, high quality, informative, and short. In addition, the indifferences in time zones hasn't been an issue since the lessons are available at anyone's convenience. As a matter of fact, even studying from my country Uganda hasn't poised any threat. Above all, my course certificate was issued immediately after completion. During my learning time, i have added quite a number of skills and practices to my repertoire of knowledge that i believe will make me a better leader in my career. Among the areas i got expertise in were; Self Leadership, Self-awareness, Ethical Decision Making, Leading Others, Emotional Intelligence, Building Trust Relationships, Conflict Management, Power and Influence, and Leadership Growth. Be all as it may, i draw my inference by saying; it was a great experience and I couldn't ask for better. Thank you Gies College of Business. Looking forward to another of the same..

I highly recommend the "Leading Teams: Developing as a Leader" course offered by the University of Illinois. This course is an excellent resource for anyone looking to develop their leadership skills and learn how to effectively lead teams. The course covers a wide range of topics, including team dynamics, communication, motivation, and conflict resolution.

What I appreciated most about this course is the practical approach taken by the instructors. The course provides a wealth of real-world examples and case studies, which help to bring the concepts to life and make them more relatable. Additionally, the course includes interactive exercises and quizzes, which help to reinforce the concepts and keep you engaged.

The instructors are highly knowledgeable and engaging, and their passion for the subject matter is evident throughout the course. Overall, I found "Leading Teams: Developing as a Leader" to be an engaging, informative, and highly practical course that has helped me to become a better leader. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their leadership skills and learn how to effectively lead teams.

Pros: 1. Good set of topics: Module 1: Head and Heart of Everyday Leadership; Module 2: Individual Decision Making; Module 3: Group Decision Making; Module 4: Managing Motivation 2. Prof. Gregory Northcraft is effective. 3. Practice quizzes and Peer-graded Assignments are valuable in checking one's understanding. 4. This is indeed a valuable component of Strategic Leadership and Management Specialization. Cons: 1. Peer reviews are not effective in providing valuable feedback. 2. Some peers did not understand the 120-word limit and the Rubric requirements. 3. Quizzes in Case Studies could be better although the video debriefs are good. 4. Forum threads contains assignment links only.

The Coursera course on "Leading Teams: Developing as a Leader" is highly recommended. The content is comprehensive and relevant, covering key aspects of effective team leadership. The engaging learning experience includes interactive videos, quizzes, and case studies. The instructors are knowledgeable and provide practical insights. The course offers valuable tools and resources for ongoing reference. Whether you're a new or experienced leader, this course will enhance your skills in leading teams effectively.

A big take home is to be aware that the leadership is an ongoing journey. There is so much to learn and understand at each levels. Leaders need not necessarily hold any high position in an organization but applying those skills in your day-to-day activities will help you grow as a professional/leader. This course was very interesting and gave me a lot of insight into this subject as a whole, leadership is complex and studying it can definitely help you solve problems efficiently and achieve your bigger goals.

I felt the score of 0 for exceeding the 120 word limit on peer reviewed essays was taken a bit too seriously by other students. I understand excessively long answers are not good but I received scores of zero for being less than ten words over the limit two times. Seems like students are a bit too inflexible. I had to make my answer less complete to satisfy the word limit which seemed like a worthless use of time and a trivial exercise.

I will advise that the case study should be structured in such a way that all partners can be more involved in the analysis. It should be designed in such a way that the group will submit a short write up as a solution to the case study.

With this, all partners will be more involved in the case study exercise.

Kudos to all the lecturers. You all impressed me. i have learn a lot but I know this is just the beginning, 6 courses to go.

Course is structured very well with good assignments and case studies. The extra elements which most courses miss is what I think important in every course i.e. the case studies and assignments because it encourages you to think on course learnings and get to realise how well you have understood the course. I had a great time in learning this course. Also the staff is great with good knowledge and language control.

Amazing course, helped me to know the main important aspects of everyday leadership skills. The videos are really informative and easy to structured. Maybe the reading were somehow difficult but I managed to benefit from them. The whole course is really structured in a smart and interactive way. Thank you Illinois university and coursera. Special thanks for the professors Gregory, Jeffery and Jack.

I really recommend this course for people who feel the need of expanding their knowledge in the broad field of leadership and management. It requires a lot of work especially for non-natives, even if we are using English on daily basis, but its worth it. If you can discipline yourself and work hard you will benefit from this course a lot. Taking on next one. Hope I encouraged someone.

Very interesting and complete materials, I was able to use the case study exercises with peers in my daily work to challenge the way we were doing things. The topic is amazing and the professors are highly engaging. The perfect course for professionals that work full time and want to complement their learnings at their own pace without having to leave their living room

Excellent course. Lots of material, presented in a clear and compelling way. Some lectures can be a bit too fast to properly take notes and let the concepts sink in, but the chance to slow down videos or replay them makes that an easily solvable issue.

I also enjoyed the suggested readings, which help in giving a broader view of what's presented in each lecture.

I enjoyed the course. It solidified some concepts and actions I have taken based on intuition. It also thought me new concepts that I will be able to apply in order to lead more effectively in future. I think I will be a little ore effective and more confident as a leader going forward. I am looking forward to going through the rest of the leadership courses.

The course has provided an opportunity to learn the basics of decision making process in the most understandable language. Even those who are not at the top may understand how to behave in a group. Even these teachings are helpful in making decisions in informal groups in daily life. Thank you for providing the concept of leadership in the easiest way.

Well presented course that provides good practical advice that is applicable both in the business world and beyond. Can be a good source of self improvement as well.

Очень благодарна вам
