    Simply amazing and thought provoking. Professor Northcraft taught this course with his experience of more than 30 years. Simple to understand concepts with great applicability to our day to day scenarios.

    A very good course! I was looking for something that was not so much about management, but rather about leadership per se. And this is what this course is about - leadership. Its concepts can be applied anywhere - even in your own family. The ideas discussed in the course were novel and perhaps a little controvercial to me as a conservative. But they are presented so eloquently and persuasively that one cannot but embrace them. A wonderful course!
