Organizational Leadership Coursera

Overview

Key Features

Equip yourself to successfully lead organizations through clarity of purpose and effective collaboration — by building and motivating teams; designing and delivering powerful stories; developing strategies to appropriately influence; understanding underlying customer analytics and applying innovative approaches to deliver impact.

How do aspiring managers succeed in an ever-changing business environment? How do they lead different groups to action? Throughout the five courses, we will explore how great leaders assess themselves and lead collaborative teams that effectively manage negotiations and conflict.  We will discover how leaders communicate through storytelling and employ other communication strategies to influence.  

Furthermore, we will learn how organizations start with the clarity of purpose that comes from an understanding of customers’ needs, including leveraging data analytics, and use that focus to drive the design of products and services to meet those needs effectively. At the end of the Organizational Leadership Specialization offered by Coursera in partnership with Northwestern University, students will create a capstone project that allows them to apply what they have learned.
