Hi, my name is Jeff Loewenstein.

>> And I am Jack Goncalo.

>> We are teaching the course applications of everyday leadership.

This course was originally developed by our good colleague and friend,

Greg Northcraft, now retired.

In this course you will see videos of us and you'll also see videos of Greg.

Together we will help you apply the foundational principles of every day

leadership to address core challenges that leaders face.

For that reason it's helpful to have already completed the Foundations of

Everyday Leadership course, to get the most out of this course.

>> In this course you will learn new ways to act more effectively as a leader.

You will also learn new ways of thinking and talking about leading others.

These go together.

By providing new ways of understanding situations, you will see opportunities and

threats that you might not have noticed before.

>> And consider actions that you might not have tried before.

>> There are four modules in this course.

The first module is about negotiation, or how to form collective goals by

having discussions with others that result in agreements.

The second module is about performance management or how we track and

coach others to be more effective.

The third module is about conflict management, or how to resolve your own and

others disagreements.

And then finally, the fourth module we'll finish the course by discussing leading

change in organizations.

>> You'll see that each module in the course includes some background readings,

a conceptual video, a supplemental video that will allow you to drill deeper into

specific related topics, and finally, a case study activity.

The case study activities each provide you an opportunity to practice what you learn

from the readings and the videos.

These activities allow you engage in common situations that you will encounter

frequently as leaders, providing a chance to practice what you have learned and

to assess your skills at handling these situations.

>> The case study activities are critical to learning.

The more seriously you take your participation in these activities,

the more you'll learn.

To do the case study activities, you'll need to draw in friends and

colleagues to participate with you.

You'll learn more if you work with different people for

each case study activity.

You're not going to lead one person, but many.

Variety is your friend here.

>> If you wish to purchase a package of the supplemental readings for all eight

modules of the Everyday Leadership course, you should visit the LAD online bookstore.

You can also visit the LAD online bookstore to purchase a two-page

summary of the contents of each of the eight modules

of the Everyday Leadership courses written by Professor Greg Northcraft.

>> Each module is going to provide practice questions.

They're there to help you assess whether you've learned what you need to know

from the module.

There are also short multiple choice quizzes, and

then brief peer evaluated writing assignments.

These are opportunities to check your understanding and

to consolidate what you've learned in the course.

You don't need to be in a formal leadership position within

an organization to lead other people.

You just need to know the foundations of leaderships and

be able to apply them in your interactions with other people.

If you can engage others to work together to achieve collective goals,

you're a leader.

This course is going to help you do so.
