Aimed at first-time or inexperienced managers, this course from the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore covers the fundamental elements of successful team management.

Have you been made a manager simply because you've worked at your company for years? Or are you being managed by someone who has no idea what they're doing?

Unfortunately, there can be a huge gap between the role a manager should fulfill and what they're actually doing.

This gap represents a wasted opportunity; effective people management is a teachable skill that's crucial to the success of an organization. People Management from edX directly tackles that gap.

Delivered alongside interviews with management trainees and experts alike, Vasanthi Srinivasan shares her insights as a professor of Organizational Behavior and Human Resources Management at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore.

People Management covers effective delegating, evaluating, and assessing a team, building a network of peers, successful communication, and the values that a manager should embody.
