I have really gained a lot of knowledge and practical experience from this course. It will definitely empower me to prepare my organization and lead in times of crisis

Excellent course and the materials. I have learned a lot of new things from this course and it will help me a lot to transform the same in my organization.

This was an excellent course. I loved the videos and all the course material. The concepts and examples provided by Professor Barger were very easy to comprehend. The course includes practical advice that we can take back to our organizations right away and stir the water for some improvements

Great Course

The course was reasonably interesting, albeit a bit repetitive. It was not challenging especially if you have some experience of crisis leadership. The lecturer was Ok but I felt that the instructional design could have been improved. It felt very targeted to the US market as it used learning techniques I have regularly seen in the S, rather than in Europe. The graded tests are, in my view pointless as they do not allow for individual experiences to be reflected in the answers.

The course is well-structured and informative. The instructors are experts in crisis management and leadership. They provide clear and concise explanations of the concepts and strategies covered in the course. The course also includes a number of case studies and simulations, which allow participants to apply what they have learned to real-world situations. Overall, High Stakes Leadership: Leading in Times of Crisis is an excellent course for anyone who wants to learn more about crisis management and leadership. It is particularly relevant for business leaders, but it is also beneficial for anyone who may face a crisis in their personal or professional life.

Brilliant course....I really enjoyed this course!!! Course material was brilliant..... Excellent videos, Informative readings, Great quizes. Prof Mike Barger explains each concept so well that even if one is new to the topic or one has little Intention of learning, he/she will have no option but to imbibe the concepts fully. I really appreciate the genuine effort in formulating this course for online learners. Thanks a ton Prof Mike Barger, University of Michigan, Coursera, & Class Central.

This course exceeded all of my expectations and was extremely valuable, even after a decade and a half of crisis communications work. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the topic.

The course was so informative and helpful especially in dealing the crisis of Pandemic that our business and stakeholders are facing.

Thanks a lot Prof.

The best course I ever opted for....thank you Mike sir for your efforts...I really feel connected with the course...

GOOD

Honestly this course is more memorizing theory and doesn't encourage independent thought. The application of these theoretical approaches simply can't be applied to certain real life scenarios. Tailoring solutions is the way forward.

In our world which is ever-increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA), organizations of all forms should anticipate that crises will eventually occur and that we can be placed in positions wherein we may not have sufficient information, and perhaps resources, to make and implement decisions that can make-or-break these establishments. This offering comprehensively provides (1) a leadership toolkit to help prepare for, cope with, and mitigate crisis scenarios and environments and (2) the reasons to invest time and resources for such endeavors. I still do not see myself as a leader in most cases, let alone one that can step up during high-stakes episodes for organizations I am affiliated with. Nevertheless, I now have a clearer view of what to expect from those who will lead and, perhaps, how to contribute to such leadership efforts. Drawing from the experience and expertise of the course instructor, great emphasis is given to best practices for stakeholder understanding & engagement (and a practical definition for “stakeholder”), promoting and developing organizational resilience, the “anatomy” and diversity of crisis environments and the responses they elicit, and the “blueprint” of effective crisis leaders. Overall, this is an excellent and enlightening course that will boost, in one way or another, one’s soft skills.

Brilliant teaching, excellent examples, wonderful practical training! Great course, thank you, professor, for this opportunity. Up-to-date topic and relevant practical examples, I've learned from this on-line course much more, then at other similar courses in auditoriums in Russia, Germany and Sweden. And of course, thank you Coursera for opportunity to study for free! Now , in this difficult Corona-crisis times, it's essentially important. I promise to use knowledge I've got at this our course, to help myself and others. Thank you for this course! Egor Sonin - Moscow, Russia, Berlin, Germany, Stockholm, Sweden.

Excellent course! It brings an exceptional guidance for dealing with crisis situations. Highly recommended both for experienced crisis management professionals (I have seen this well-known topic from a new fresh perspective) and beginners. The course is full of interesting examples from a real business life and practical advice that you may use in your crisis management role. Professor Mike Barger is a great teacher. I also value a nice useful workbook offered to learners.
