The section which praises the skills and accomplishments of wealthy people (like Elon) seemed strange. My understanding is Elon was born into wealth and took credit for other people's accomplishments.

Optionale Bereiche sollten nicht verpflichtend sein, musste alles ansehen um Zertifikat zu erhalten, obwohl optionale Bereiche für mich nicht relevant waren. Pflichtteil war sehr gut
By Donni Ochoa on 9/16/2024
My only complaint is having to do all of the optional courses (many of which didn't apply for what I needed) before the course can be shown as complete. It would be better to give options for which (of any) "optional" classes you want to take.

This course was very crucial in as far as my daily work is concerned, am gaining a lot as leader in creating conducive environment to all my coworkers.
By Andrew Siapco on 5/10/2023
Course is very insightful and has equipped me with skills and knowledge which I can effectively use at work and will definitely share with others. I have gained significant understanding of the roles and responsibilities of a true leader and had better understanding on how to exemplify the qualities of a strong leader.
By Britton Lee Ramsey on 4/25/2023
I have taken many courses on leadership, yet none as extensive as this. I loved how it went into so many psychological and behavioral keys to leadership, as well as how personal experiences can influence. Excellent course!
By Anonymized User on 4/17/2023
I really liked the class. The only "criticism" I have ( if you would even call it that) would be the fact that to complete all of the optional sections to complete the certificate.
