Course Motivation

When you're asked to lead other people, it's a big responsibility. Not only are you in charge of the activities of others, but you're also responsible for the outcome of those activities. For many, moving into management is a process that happens after they've held  certain roles for certain periods of time, but that doesn't always mean they're ready for the position.

They might know how a company or an industry works, but if they don't know how people work – and how to work with them – the would-be manager may not do as well as they might like.

Learning how to lead others needs to be a part of the process. Certainly, there is room for a person to make mistakes, but having a framework in place, and some knowledge, can help a manager become more of a leader and less of a hesitant person-in-charge.

Managing others is a skill set that will evolve over time, and it's certainly a skill set that is unique to others. In this course, you will learn more about the essentials of management, but then you will put them into practice, which may cause you to change their details and their method of implementation.

Remember, it's not about following all of the advice in this course. At the very least, you can learn more about what managers do, how they do it, and how they can do it well.

This conversation includes you. You need to be ready to take on the role of leading others, and then looking at who you lead to see how you might need to adjust the way you do things.

In the end, it's about helping the company thrive. And you can't do it alone. You need the help of others. Here's how you can begin to show that you're the one that can lead them into success.
