I think he has described this very practically, step by step and I feel he told very right that we need to remove obstacles like poor policies, poor monitoring/supervision first and the we should look for motivating people, that point was excellent

I have been searching for a high quality training course on Team Management and I am happy that I took this course. The content in the training has fully met my expectations. Instructor did a great job in delivering insightful information and sharing his experience. His real life examples made the training even more interesting. I would recommend this training to my friends. Thank you Ross and keep doing your excellent job.

could have been a effective way if was explained differently rather tha just explaining the thins orally .

I listened to this one several times and am going to do it again. Excellent, to the point, should be part of every team leaders and managers starter pack, always take something new from it. Recommended in every way, Ross is amazing.

Helpful course about how to deal with different real situations as a manager. The environment where the movies are filmed is nice but can be distracting due to some people in the back who are swimming, walking or just staying.
By Vallee Alexandre on 8/20/2018
I did not learn much as I knew the technics from my previous job as a Team leader in a big customer support department. However, I confirm that learning materials are great and this course was very good to refresh my memories!
By Josephine Donnelly on 7/31/2018
Very useful. I did this course as a brush-up but it gave me more practical techniques that I can immediately and directly use than any formal training I've had. Thanks so much.

Pretty basic so far. What works for one doesn't work for all. Here's what motivates, here's what doesn't. nothing new yet
By Shaikh Romaan Tauseef on 4/4/2018
the contents and mode of explanation are quite good and much more easy to understand, but learning from each session and key point of the session must be included after each video.
By Louisa Rebec on 7/20/2016
The Content was very useful and explained in a very logical and concise manner. Although I appreciated the Beautiful ocean surrounds, I couldn't help be distracted by the background sounds and sites of birds, people talking and swimming. At times this background noise was quite loud.
