Principles of Leadership: Leading Technical Teams Specialization

Become a Great Leader. Understand critical leadership principles, develop personal leadership traits, explore the challenges of leading individuals and learn strategies for leading a team.
This class is about becoming a Great Leader. Great Leaders know how to hire great individuals, form and empower great teams, and delegate to those teams appropriately. Working together with the team, they envision what the organization could be and inspire others to help execute the strategy that will take them there. They protect their team members, empower them, and help them to improve and grow while the team members, in turn, help the organization improve and grow. Great Leaders’ ambition is for the organization and team first, and for themselves a distant second. They combine fierce resolve with personal humility, shunning a more popular, larger-than-life egocentricity. These are the Great Ones: those who build the greatest organizations and who, in the long run, are the most admired.
