About the Course

In a demanding business world, team performance matters. At a time in history when teams are less engaged and more unmotivated than ever before, this course we will help give you the competitive edge you are looking for. What if your teams were more motivated and engaged? What if we found a way to harness the primal power of storytelling to influence and collaborate with others? What if we created an environment of psychological safety and trust for the teams we lead? This course is part of the "Neuroscience of Leadership" specialization, which examines leadership techniques through the lens of social cognitive neuroscience and psychology. Utilizing the latest research, we develop a leadership practice based on the foundation of neuroscience. The focus of this course is leading and coaching high performance teams. You'll come away with new knowledge and techniques to enhance motivation, set better goals, build trust with your team, tell a compelling story, think well on your feet and coach your team effectively. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (ME-EM) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The ME-EM is designed to help engineers, scientists, and technical professionals move into leadership and management roles in the engineering and technical sectors. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the ME-EM is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience.

I have completed the first course of the three-course series and attempted the knowledge test of Module 1 of the second course. Now, I do not intend to continue studying this course series. A major flaw of the series is that the student is overburdened with reading complex research papers and other online resources. Also, some of the online videos, prescribed for watching, are very long, some with a time span exceeding an hour. Better if short videos of maximum 20 minutes having good script are included in the course. For the student, it would have been far easier to acquire the learning that the instructor intended to impart, had most of the prescribed reading been converted into properly scripted video lectures. The instructor has given very few lectures. Unfortunately, his video lectures leave a lot to be desired as far as good script and proper topic explanations are concerned. One more major flaw of the three-course series is that it is touted as to be undertaken by the beginners. However, I am afraid that a beginner to neuroscience has the aptitude and patience to repeatedly pore over the complex research papers and other resources so as to be able to assimilate the required learning from the prescribed reading.

Too much focus on external materials (podcasts, research papers that are also available on Youtube).
