About the course

We understand that being a manager is not easy.

The Author About the сourse

"Of course, I'm biased, but in my opinion (and in the opinion of many who have taken it), this course is the best thing that has happened to leadership training in a long time. It's deep (you'll often have to look deeper into yourself than you'd like), it's versatile (I never tell you what to do – I always describe several approaches), it's interactive, it's (self-)ironic. And of course, it's absolutely unique – there's nothing else like it out there."
