Leadership is a choice. It happens when someone steps up and causes a change to happen. It happens when someone enrolls other people to help them make that change.

In this interactive online workshop, Seth Godin will walk you through the steps to make the choice to lead.

  • You’ll explore what the leadership choice is capable of accomplishing, what it means, and how to get there.

  • You’ll learn to distinguish between leaders and managers, paint a picture of where you want your leadership journey to go, and motivate people to join you in your cause.

  • Perhaps most importantly, you’ll learn that you can lead even when you don’t have formal authority.

The course is built around 9 surprising leadership principles that challenge conventional wisdom. Through a series of videos and interactive exercises, Seth will introduce you to ideas that will help you lead people to dance on the edge of possibility. You’ll learn why authority is different than responsibility, why future change makers need to master leadership rather than management, and why new types of work demand new types of leadership.

This course is an active journey of self-reflection. You should be prepared to roll up your sleeves and reflect on your priorities and the type of change you want to make, regardless of where you sit in an organization. You’ll leave the experience with a Leadership Notebook documenting your ideas for getting started.

difference between

Great perspective and insights on leadership and how to be an effective leader, as well as the difference between a leader and a manager.

Oui Enjoyed the course and seeing difference between leadership and management.

Course really helped me in understanding difference between leader and a manager.

I was already familiar with much of what Seth presented because I'm an avid fan of his audiobooks... but it was a good, concise reminder of the basic points he articulates about the difference between managing and leading, responsibility and authority, the inevitability of failure, and the importance of leaping.

It crystalizes the difference between leadership and management and let's me feel that I am understood and not alone in my views and experiences.

Bacuase in less than 4 minutes I was able to clearly understand the difference between a manager and a leader.

A good refresher on the difference between manager and leader Faltou a legenda em português Very good training Seth is amazing!

so far

So far, a very pragmatic, principle centred course which suits my way of thinking.

I have listened and relistened and trust everything Seth has said so far.

Even though I wouldn't say "I haven't heard any of this before", I am enjoying the way Seth is structuring the lectures so far and the approaches he takes in conveying his message.

Because I'm only halfway through the course, so far it's just been motivational.

Questions are not very user-friendly so far the things are slow and Clumber some As usually seth, has a really art to make a class..... Great, short and good.

Inspiring So far, it feels like broad, sweeping generalizations and the tone is negative toward management - you need both to be successful.

It's inspiring, but so far, pretty impractical.

So far I have enjoyed this class and I have not yet conpleted the remainder classes.

Awesome and very inspitartional So far its been very thought-provoking and we will see where we end up at the end of the course.

Very short segments that are very general so far.

So far so good.

Basic info so far I do not know how to complete this workshop, i have answered all the questions Nil na

I believe it a little difficult to put into practice It was simple and easy to follow and understand I thought the presentation was done well.

Seth's presentations are short easy to follow yet filled with serious ideas that can take you a million miles.

Recommended It's was easy to follow and left me with provocative thoughts and understanding the difference between a leader and manager.

Great Course - he teaches in short clips that are direct and easy to follow, then there is tons of supporting documents that help you apply the lessons.

management and leadership

Seth really hammered home and articulated the difference between management and leadership and his guiding principles have clearly spelled out what a leader is: Someone with a deep enough desire to change the world and who asks others to follow them.

It is a good eye opener of what Management and Leadership really is - although known it is good to hear again, a lot of introspection occurred during the course this brings out a lot of work on self to take place good understanding of what the great leader should be focusing on This has led me to question if I'm a leader or a manger, and assisted in reflecting on what i can do to become a better leader.

Did I learn anything?....yes there is a difference between management and leadership but that's about it...don't think I'd do another Udemy course again ... not good value for the money I'm afraid:( The course content is very concise and easy to understand.

It didnt get 5 starts because I think it would be better with more interaction with other delegates Good explanation about the difference between Management and Leadership .

This course clearly explains the difference between management and leadership and also talks about the qualities expected out of a leader.

Great to hear some concrete thoughts on the differences between management and leadership (and why we need both).

writing exercises

The content is concise but impactful and the writing exercises help to really drive home the concepts taught in the course.

Seth's passionate lectures, coupled with self-reflective writing exercises, have helped me decide my own direction.

Be specific: The mixture of short video followed by the writing exercises is an effective way to capture your own thoughts and insights.

The combination of teaching and writing exercises helps to solidify Seth's message of leadership, and also what that message means in your own context.

I like the writing exercises, but I'd like to see some variety in the tools that we are using.

take responsibility

No matter your role in your organization we all can take responsibility and lead.

Leadership is for everyone who decides that they will take responsibility to make a difference, no matter how small or big that will lead others to a new place.

I am inspired to take responsibility and create change, i am not going to wait for authority to do that.

What I enjoyed were 2 powerful takeaways: 1) You don’t need authority, you can take responsibility instead.
