We often think that managing people looks like a charismatic and courageous person effective enough to be in front pointing out to everyone the direction the group should take, while others follow behind. However, in today’s world (where the difference between supervisors and employees is smaller than ever), leaders are just as often teammates and collaborators as they are supervisors and managers who can hire and fire their team at will. This course is an introduction for how managers can construct and supervise individuals who work as a team to get their work done quickly and effectively – where all individuals add unique value and skill.
Taught by an internationally recognized expert in leadership and team development, this course is helpful to anyone interested in the basics of supervising other humans in work and community settings. If you already consider yourself more advanced, this short course might help to remind you of basic strategies and concepts you may have gotten away from. Each short video and reading is designed to be practical, clear, and backed by the latest research in management and leadership development.
In this module you will become familiar with the course and our learning environment. The orientation will also help you obtain the technical skills required for the course. Then dive into the second part of this module to investigate the importance of teamwork, the common misconceptions of team leadership, and the increasing need for effective leadership in today’s professional work environment, equipping you with the essential skills for successful people management.

Wealth of information and concepts provided in a densely condensed course.
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
