Leadership is not a title. It is a set of skills, mindsets, and behaviours that anyone can develop. This course examines leadership from various current approaches, helping new and experienced leaders elevate their impact. You will explore who a leader is, the role of a leader, and specific leadership styles including purpose driven leadership, big picture thinking leadership, authentic leadership, leadership through tough times, community or collegiate minded leadership, and assertive but fair leadership. The course also covers vision, communication, stakeholder management, emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, conflict resolution, and team leadership.

• Strategies for leading through tough times and managing workplace challenges.

Why We Love This Course

1. It is grounded in the belief that everyone can be a leader in their own way, not just people with formal authority.
2. Over 55,000 students have enrolled, and the instructor, Baba Oyewole FCCA, brings years of experience in finance, business, and leadership education.
3. The course covers both timeless leadership principles and modern approaches like authentic and community minded leadership.
4. It is comprehensive (6.5 hours) but broken into bite sized lectures (94 lectures), making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.
