This long Diploma course is serious and workbooks and assignments are set. Leadership is not about watching videos alone but discussing, considering, suggesting and then making decisions. The Educational Announcements and the Q/A ensure that this course is always up to date.Recent review:"love detailed oriented people, and this instructor not only has a vision, he takes the best time to explain himself and his method"Lectures added in April 2024:Decision-making and team dynamicsNurturing an inclusive environmentReflections on the role of the leaderKey takeawaysThis course is split into three sections:Generations:Generations in workplace8 things to know MillennialsGeneration alphaThe Skeldon approachCultural diversityBenefitsDressing Gown theoryChallengesManagementManaging Baby BoomersManaging a multi-generational workplaceThe emphasis throughout in giving practical examples and the setting of research topics.

It is by doing Case Studies, applying knowledge, discussing, re-evaluating and participating with other course members, that real learning takes place. The course leads to the Oxford Diploma.
