Posted on: 12th May 2026

Instructor: N/A • Language: N/A

Develop modern leadership skills including emotional intelligence, adaptive styles, team coaching, and employee motivation for the AI era of management.

Description

The old command and control style of leadership is failing. Generation Z expects coaching, not bosses. Research from Gallup and Google shows that emotional intelligence and adaptive leadership drive performance, not authority. This course gives you a modern leadership toolkit grounded in that research. You will learn to develop effective leadership skills, enhance employee motivation, build high performing teams, and master coaching techniques. No more managing by yelling or micromanaging, just resonant leadership that inspires.

This Course Offers

  • Research backed insights on great leadership: Explore leadership insights from Gallup and Google research on what actually makes leaders effective. Understand how leadership relates to emotions, why it matters, and what kind of leadership Generation Z needs specifically.
  • Adaptive leadership styles for diverse teams: Master transformational, situational, and servant leadership approaches. Learn how to find the most effective style, when to switch, and how to introduce elements of turquoise and holacracy into your team.
  • Employee motivation, feedback, and engagement strategies: Master leadership techniques that drive motivation, build trust, and foster long term employee commitment. Learn the art of constructive feedback and recognition, and how to use individual strengths to maximize team productivity.
  • Coaching as a leadership tool and team development: Develop coaching skills to enhance employee development, mentorship, and performance management. Master one on one coaching techniques, active listening, empathy, and how to lead impactful team discussions.

Why We Love This Course

  1. It is grounded in serious research, not just opinion. The course opens with insights from Gallup and Google on modern leadership, then builds practical strategies on that evidence base. You are learning what actually works, not just what sounds good.
  2. The instructor brings massive scale and credibility. Mike Pritula has over 1.6 million enrollments across 500 HR and leadership courses through PapaHR. He has built systems at unicorn companies like Preply on its path to a $1.2 billion valuation.
  3. It covers the specific leadership challenges of the AI era. The course addresses leading across generations, managing unengaged team members using resonant leadership, and adapting styles for dynamic work environments. These are not generic leadership tips. They are modern, specific challenges.
  4. The resource pack is practical and immediately useful. With 4 hours of video, 6 downloadable resources, one article, and a role play scenario, you receive leadership checklists, coaching templates, and management frameworks you can use in your next one on one meeting.

Managing tasks is not enough anymore. Teams need coaches who inspire, develop, and adapt. The question is whether you want to learn the modern, research backed leadership skills that build high performing teams or keep using outdated command and control methods that drive engagement down.
