Principales reseñas sobre DEVELOPING A SYSTEMS MINDSET
Really the course in itself was very informative and you get to learn many thing that you are unaware about your system mindsets.
Goes through the basics very well. Easy to follow.
Thorough and accessible course, relatively quick too. Enjoyed it a lot. Will be taking the other courses of the specialisation now!
Good course on leadership and how to build your own brand. A little bit more focused on how to do project proposals and less about leadership within an organizational structure but still helpful.
