Inhalt: Communication is a complex art. Listening, making oneself understood, and persuasion are all elements of what it means to communicate effectively. Great communicators must master these skills and apply them strategically, depending on what they're trying to achieve in a given context. You might use the art of narrative storytelling to get your team excited about a project. In a negotiation, you might deliberately signal a willingness to walk away in order to prompt the other side to action. Or if your goal is to understand the ideas and intentions of a new colleague, you might ask a series of sincere, open-ended questions. This course is designed to prepare you for all of these situations and more, offering tips, strategies, and broad observations from professional communicators in many different roles-from an award-winning actor, to an FBI hostage negotiator, to an astronaut on the International Space Station. Note: Some videos assume a group of learners is available for team activities and discussions. Please use what's useful and feel free to adapt the lessons to your particular circumstances.

Inhalt: Decision-making is difficult in an uncertain world. When faced with complex problems, we have three powerful tools at our disposal: intuition, logic, and data. But as each tool on its own is flawed, the trick is knowing how to use them together. By asking the right questions, checking your own biases, designing a method of information-gathering to test your hypotheses, and using probabilistic reasoning to choose the best among several good options, you can make difficult decisions much easier. This course provides the tools and techniques you need to improve your decision-making skills over time and to support your team's ability to make high-risk group decisions. Learn how to identify common cognitive blind-spots, develop cogent hypotheses, remain open to a wide range of possible solutions, and choose wisely among them.

Inhalt: There is no way to win without appreciating your team members' unique strengths. Forgetting that teams are made of individuals with contrasting temperaments, talents, and skills is a surefire way to hire an unbalanced and ineffective workforce-and undercut the potential of your existing staff. Building a successful team is about balancing people's tendencies toward autonomy and social connection. Doing so successfully allows for creative tension, unlocks motivation, and promotes "flow states" in which teams adapt creatively to new challenges. In this course, leadership experts such as Richard Branson and Joel Peterson explain the best ways to build a winning team. Learn how to capitalize on qualities employees value the most-trust, freedom, and play-in order to build a high-performing and innovative organization.
