Essential Management Skills

Essential Management Skills
10 chapters | ~3 hours

Great management comes down to a handful of practical skills that anyone can learn. Across ten compact chapters this course covers what leadership really means, how to build and develop a team, how to make sound decisions and run projects that deliver, how to negotiate and lead people through change, how to handle ethical grey areas and how to protect your own time and focus. Each area is introduced through a proven framework – from Management by Objectives and Tuckman’s stages to the Decision Matrix, the critical path, BATNA, the Lewin, Kotter and Bridges change models and the Triple Bottom Line – illustrated with real-world examples, and pulled together in case studies of Microsoft, Apple and the University of Oxford. No prior management experience is required.
