TOP REVIEWS FROM LEADING TEAMS: DEVELOPING AS A LEADER
the concept of being a leader is appropriate and easy to practice, with one condition always remember the theory and do not skip it while facing the condition that require decision making.
Superb Content. I have been managerial role for last decade and have done a number of workshops on motivation. The motivation through the prism of Laws of Effects and Expectancy was just great
It is the best management course I have come across. The concepts are explained beautifully by the instructor and the case studies are excellent as well. I feel really improved after this course.
I like the format and especially liked the downloadable slides from each lecture. I'm not a fan of the peer-graded assignments. I don't think it added any value in education for the specialization.
