TOP REVIEWS FROM FUNDAMENTALS OF MANAGEMENT
Highly impressed with the content and delivery of this Course. I without reservation recommend this Course to all practicing and upcoming managers/leaders.
Many New things are available to learn. I am alrealy a management student but this course help to know me that i dont know anything and I am continously learning many new concept.
Great for people that, like me, does not have a management background but maybe end up dealing with this type of position. Good guidelines, simple but complete and using understandable examples.
The course gives the introduction to the very basics of management skills. This helps the entrant people managers to develop skillset besides technical knowledge.
