About the Course

How do you lead your organisation when today’s work environment is so competitive and complex? When you become responsible for leading an organisation, your most important leadership challenge will be enabling your organisation to deliver on its strategy while ensuring it remains sufficiently agile. This course will prepare you to tackle this challenge. You will examine what organisational culture is, the primary organisational structures, and what we mean by ‘systems’, before building on your foundational knowledge and taking a more strategic perspective. The structured learning activities that complement this course (video lectures, quizzes, discussion prompts and written assessments) will not only prepare you to take your organisation forward in a more strategic direction, but to make better decisions along the way....

This module was my favorite as I learnt so much on how to be a better leader , how to adapt my leadership style and even to recognize if I am a bad leader by looking at psychopathic traits.

It'll be nice if someone could uptade certain parts of the lectures like really old articles, dead links or links that lead to pages that require a paid subscription in order to see the content. Also in weeks one and two the tasks are related to Wework as a good example of a successful organization, however this company has been under fire for months because of a possible fraud to their investors.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Professor Jaco Lok, Dr. Richard Claydon, Associate Professor Edward Wray-Bliss, Professor Rebecca Mitchell, Arabella MacPherson, Dr. Abas Mirzaei, and Coursera for these very informative 4 courses of Specialisation 🧶Leading: Human Resource Management and #Leadership by Macquarie University.

Incredible specialization! It took me approximately 24 weeks to complete all courses. 🤓 This specialization equips you with the skills to lead and navigate the ever-changing global environment we now work in.
