  • Module 1 Negotiation
    • This module will examine the three core skills necessary for everyday leaders to negotiate effectively and how these three core skills can be used to influence others to want to do what we need them to do.

  • Module 4: Leading Organizational Change
    • This module will highlight what it takes for everyday leaders to successfully lead a change initiative, why others are likely to resist change, how everyday leaders can use inclusiveness to make the implementation of change more successful, and how everyday leaders can manage potential chaos during the unfolding over time of a change initiative implementation.

    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!
