    About the Course

    although managing people well is critical to the health of any organization, most managers don't get the training they need to make good
    management decisions. Now, award-winning authors and renowned management Professors Mike Useem and Peter Cappelli of the Wharton
    School have designed this course to introduce you to the key elements of managing people. Based on their popular course at Wharton, this

    Really enjoyed the cases studies throught the weeks and well having the pdfs for taking notes. The final notes on management and decision making will be on my note list for work reflection for sure.

    great theory and principles but could be a little more tactical and related to real case scenarios of the working environment. such as: how to manage your bosses as well as react to peers when competition exists though team work must prevail. How to handle medium performers. How to handle politics in the offices when bosses use preferences and similarity concepts.

    The lecture material was poorly executed. Grammar and spelling errors on several slides made it hard to follow and understand. Professor Useem's lecture/teaching style is difficult to follow even as a native English speaker and especially while using the transcript.

    Not structured information, too much talking, could be communicated faster. Theory principles not well defined, the information rather presented with few examples, so it's hard to learn anything and coordinate theory with practical application.

    It was a very general overview through human resource management. Hope that more insights could have been offered by providing more concrete strategies. Also, it would be a plus to offer recommended readings for the topic.

    I didn't quite feel I left with a sense of practical knowledge on how to manage or build the architecture of an organization.

    Explaining many abstractive things with a couple of concrete actual stories and less correct materials.

    the course is poorly structured. the videos are lack of well-organization and the slides are poorly written. The lecturer teaches in a way that's so hard to follow with tedious cases. Avoid this one and seek for other alternatives.

    The professors burps and snorts snot throughout the video. This is disgusting and prevents me from watching the video. I have to drop the whole specialization due to this substandard presentation.
