This course is explanatory and very educative for managing people at work. If the leadership, decision making and conflict resolution at work place modules are followed properly in an organization by the line managers , then the organization will run smoothly with little or less conflicts.

El curso de 6 semanas es muy completo, cada semana se trata un tema distinto y se abarcan los grandes tems básicos de la direccion de personas en el trabajo. También se dan materiales adicionales para complementar algunos temas en los que en el curso por razones obvias no se profundiza.

This course is a full package on management filled with lessons that can easily be put to practice by practice. I have no doubt, that any manager who's opportune to take the course and follow its teachings to the latter won't regret taking it, instead, be a better manager/leader.

I was very happy with what I learned in this course. I thought the conflict management section was not as useful as the rest of the course as it did not give specific examples of what a manager should do (as the vignettes in other parts of the course did).
