Once you understand how to work with generative AI, the next step is applying it across the parts of your job that take up the most time and energy: managing yourself and leading your team. This course, based on the HBR Guide to Generative AI for Managers, walks through ten real areas of managerial work, from email and time management to team creativity, conflict resolution, and complex problem-solving, and shows you where generative AI fits as a Co-Pilot for fast execution and where it works better as a Co-Thinker for deeper reasoning. You'll build practical skills for using generative AI to write and communicate more effectively, reflect on your leadership style, run better meetings, support your team's creativity, and navigate harder moments like conflict and ambiguous problems. By the end, you'll have a concrete set of ways to bring generative AI into your day-to-day leadership, not just your individual output.

Some of the highest-stakes decisions a manager makes involve incomplete information, competing priorities, and real consequences if you get it wrong. This course, based on the HBR Guide to Generative AI for Managers, shows you how to bring generative AI into that harder, more strategic layer of your work. You'll use generative AI to search for information and analyze data faster, generate and validate customer insights, and build stronger business cases by pressure-testing stakeholder perspectives, trade-offs, and risk. You'll also apply it to strategic decisions like formulating business strategy and assessing supply chain resilience, and to leading organizational change, from planning a transformation to overcoming resistance and shifting mindsets. Throughout, you'll use generative AI as both a Co-Pilot for fast analysis and a Co-Thinker for stress-testing your reasoning before you commit to a decision.
