Remember to compliment the work of employees and how they move the organization forward.

While working with a class that had mixed generations of students (Gen Z, Gen Y, Gen X, and a few Boomers) we decided to mix up the end of unit assessments. One week - we all took the quiz together - a standard 20 point multiple choice quiz - and as we discussed the correct answers and the incorrect multiple-choice options - it was amazing to see interest escalate and topics were pounded out for deeper meaning. There was also an increase in student enjoyment and interest because getting a 100 on the quiz was affirming and rewarding.

Being open to new ideas and allowing your employees to have a safe place to vent/talk/coach helps increase development among your staff.

This course is very challenging as it touches the most difficult issue of interpersonal relationships within a team. I learned many valuable strategies to adopt in my team.

Great tool to use in the classroom!

The WBS designing tool will assit me to organize the project in conceptulizing my tought process.

Leading by exampe and putting the plan in to perspective based on the best evidence based practice is the key to success.

Setting up performance metrics for interm milestones that the team can achieve as you care out the project is a valid concept

As vet I feel this added value to my knowlefgte base & I will better suited to share with fellow vets

It is so interesting to read from an academic perspective the differences between management (itself) and leadership. The crossover is actually more minute than one would think. Good work.

I don't mind reflecting, but it is also esssential that for such a course, practice and application that we discourse with other leaders as well as get the ideas of our direct reports. However, one of the main things I would like to share is that in the time crunch to get my certificates complete, I must admit that I'm rushing through a lot of excellent information here, and this has caused me to answer number one incorrectly on one of the activity assessments. I plan to try to slow and read more carefully. The answer looks terrible and that… >>>

Hello, Peers!

How are you? Being a mindulf leader demonstrates strength and professionalism. I know that I'm preaching to the choir; however, please do not go into a work situation as a leader and immediately impose all of your old "new" ideas on the company and your direct reports. They are already there. Many things may already work. Take a pause; reflect; take a moment (60-90 days) to really see. That doesn't mean that you should not lead, or in some cases, manage, but at least ask meaningful and reflective question in your pursuit to be their leader. Please be… >>>

I occasionally work with someone who in his mind always has the right answer and his idea of collaboration and problem solving is for everyone to agree with him.  When someone else tries to make a point he will cut them off and/or speak over them. He does come up with some good ideas every now and then but he kills the enthusiasm and ideas of others. When you talk to him he does not listen because he thinks he is always right so then why should he listen to someone else's flawed idea.  Most people just tune him out and let… >>>

This area is fairly new to me so I found this course extremely valuable.  If anyone has any links to sites with more downloadable worksheets you'd be willing to share it would be greatly appreciated!

This course was helpful in my work.  Being the leader of the team and encouraging teamwork requires many tools.  This course help give me insight and tools to better do this

I was thrown to the 'wolfs' early in my management career with little guidance or mentoring. This training would have given me a frame of reference and understanding about knowing that it really isn't about you success, it's really about your minions success.

There was good information but the begining stated six essential traits of leaders and did not number them off. So I took notes but still can't tell you what the six traits are as they were not clearly stated. The objectives were not met in this tutorial.

I have been in managment for 3 years now, this is one of the best trainings i've done!

This course made me look at my management and leadership styles.  I realized the importance of the celebrating successes, even the little ones.  So I am coming up with little ways to celebrate the achievements of the department, my instructors, and my students and to just to say thank you for the work put in.

What i took from this training is that i have seen these different leadership styles/traits in others without having a name to them. As in all things, i took the "good" things and threw out the "bad". I see now that some of what i thought was good was essentially a lack of leadership or using the wrong style of leadership for the wrong persons. I really appreciate the section on dealing with a challenging employee. The practice of going back to basics to determine any Knoweledge gaps that may need to be filled before i go through final steps… >>>
