Leading People

The first four modules covered how businesses work, grow, adapt, and add up. This module is about the human core of every organisation: leading and managing people well.

You will learn the difference between leadership and management, what truly motivates people, how to hire and build strong teams, how leaders communicate, how to manage performance and growth, how to lead through change and crisis, and what it takes to become a leader worth following.
