The valuable information in this course got me the promotion I wanted.
Higher management noticed I had changed my management style in a short time period and was pushing the employee's to get the job done.

4/5 for content, 2/5 for presentation. Compared to other courses, the lecturer is slow and often reads from slides. Nevertheless thanks for the course.

He presents the contents in a clear and concise manner, with useful examples that help retain the concepts he is presenting. I highly recommend this course to anybody, whether he or she is just entering the workforce after College or people that is already involved in management.
