One of the best free courses to introduce into leadership concepts. It has great content, great fundaments and taught by professionals. In my opinion, one of its key features are the diverse lessons as some are structured like interviews and others are like small experiments, this give a sense of proximity to the student because they can identify with the questions. I like that Franz gives importance to interculturality, and for so, he talks to people from different nationalities that also share experience with working with different cultures. The course has small 10 questions forms to each week to reinforce your apprenticeship, which is really nice to address the important topics to study and to know which one you are more familiar and others less familiar. I do not think this course gives any type of professionality or expertise to the topic of leadership but it is indeed the right path to start. I say this goes to one of the best structured courses I have taken, and mind my words, I have taken many courses, hahaha! Now, this course is not perfect. One flaw I noticed from my experience is that some questions in some questionaries are from very specific topics that were not much highlighted in some lessons. This means that, the teacher would comment about them very briefly before jumping to the next one. As a result, I thought they were not very important to note about, and that impacted on my performance. I recommend creating a section dedicated to list the important topics about a concept right before the questionaries.

I really enjoyed this course. First of all, the theory was well explained in combination with practical examples. Thanks to both of these factors, gaining knowledge and understanding the content was easy. In my opinion, the content itself is very relevant, especially when you have to deal with the international environment every day at work, school, etc. Secondly, I would like to note the professionalism of the lecturer and how easy it was to follow him, as well as understand his well-spoken English (even better than well). The participants (students) were also interestingly integrated into the lectures, which I think is a great advantage of this course. The only thing I personally didn't like was the amount of theory. Sometimes it overwhelmed me, especially when out of 5 videos, only 1 was practical. To sum up, I liked the course and would definitely recommend it to others.

I am an experienced International Manager but I found this course both reassuring and useful. For parts I could find my own processes and thinking supported by the theory. Even parts where I haven't formalized my thinking but 'kind of know it' was supported by the course, This was very reassuring. I also learnt a lot particularly in Networking and Conflict Management. I hadn't previously considered the cultural impact in this respect.

My only frustration (irritation) was the way the lecturer speaks with sentences ending with things like "if you please". This adds nothing and sounds like a non-native English speaker trying hard to sound either smart of posh. To a native English speaker it sounds irritating. I even wonder if it makes comprehension of the course more difficult when English is challenging for a student.

This course is beneficial to my future employment and I learned a lot. I liked the way the course was structured, but some videos were too long, and some accents difficult to understand. However, that is good practice, as I do work in international environments. I do wish the host would not use too much of "so", it is very disturbing and also the pauses -eh, er, eh , er - are not pleasant.

Overall, I have enjoyed the exercises and quizzes, as they assess what I have understood from each chapter. I look forward to joining more relevant courses on Coursera

Very effectively planned course. I appreciate the effort put in by Mr.Franz Wohlgezogen in bringing together different opinions that have added to the overall knowledge disseminated through this course. However, certain areas need deeper explanation and a slower pace of teaching as at times the course excavates interesting areas but does not delve into it adequately. This is especially applicable to week 4 and 5 of the course. Overall , a good course on international leadership. Commendable effort by the team!

The course covers a wide range of aspects of international leaderships, it's challenges and how to overcome the challenges. It opens up ones' mind about how to handle situations in multi-cultural contexts and will be helpful to not even leaders but also people working in foreign countries or Multi-National companies.

Very enjoyable course, some problems with the starting of videos etc but content was very interesting. Bit slow to begin with and different from the other coursera course I have completed, the last two weeks were very useful and stimulating. I will certainly use the skill learnt in my working (and home) life.

I was able to learn the important aspects of leadership. I appreciated the integration of both the local and International aspects of leadership.

Thank you for also bringing the Alumni who added good insights especially on the practical side of the course content.

I have definitely acquired new skills.

Well structured and organized, the course is clear and provides the necessary background to understand basic tools and techniques. The understanding of those will help to practice them in professional experiences and contributes for a more efficient implementation for long lasting results.

I especially enjoyed the decision making, team motivation and social capital content and references. The course is from 2015 but I believe the content is still relevant and they had some timeless leadership principles. The global lens has been a useful refresher for me

This is very helpful for the new managers who are working in global environment. I could able to understand different concepts. The examples, reference material and interactive sessions with other leaders are useful. Especially the instructor is engaging through

This course emphasis more on general communication problems faced by individuals and organizations in their day to day life. addresses all concepts related to conflicts and resolutions and several communication related issues and how to overcome them.

Dear Team,

I have just completed the course on International Leadership & Organizational Behavior , Learn about the organizational behavior, Leadership Responsibility, Communication , Building Professional Network & Managing Conflicts .

I found this course to be extremely interesting and beneficial, and directly relevant to my current work experience. It helped me reflect on my own processes as a team leader and I have begun planning improvements for the future.

This course was facilitated well and contained helpful information. Unfortunately, in my opinion, this course focused on the "soft" skills rather than practical, objective ways to improve your ability as a leader.

I am learning a lot from the course about leadership qualities and communication across culture. The slideshow and reading material really helps with digesting and remembering some of the points made in the video.

The course was so good. I got to learn more about the organization and how leadership has to be maintained. The topics were discussed in such a way that it can be practised in real life. Thank you so much.

I really enjoyed this course and was able to get some good foundational information on international business and leadership. I really enjoyed tackling these intersections in business and social science.

One of the best online course I have attended. If there was thing that I would recommend to help leaders working in multicultural environment to manage their followers, it would be this course..

the course was overall good and I learned really new ides and informations, it was just a bit boring. it would have been much better if you could make it more comfortable and interesting.

The course structure is very well. I completed it within one week. The course teacher describes different issues perfectly. These leadership skills definitely will help me in the future.

He aprendido acerca de las distintas aristas que puede tener el liderazgo internacional, y no solo nos favorece o ayuda en contextos organizacionales sino también en la cotidianidad.

very helpful and insightful course run by a very skillful lecturer. other assisting presenters were adding fruitful information to the course. i have learned a lot of things.
