This course made me to identify my mission and vision statement also knowing my core values for my business.
This course really made me read and understand what I actually want in a business, how I want my environment to be how I intend to make my staffs feel while working for me. this course is everything any business owner needs to go through.
with this course you will have the need to get to actually know your staffs how to place them and also rate their performance as they work for you. giving them room to discuss and showcase their talent their opinion really matters in a business. I always have this slogan I use when advising business owners ( The way you treat your staffs will determine the rate at which they will help to grow your business 75% of staffs will always want positive results for their employers business while 25% will just want to work and earn salary not minding how the business succeed). treating your staffs right can help save your business in the sense that nobody want to loose the job they value and get treated rightly, it also makes your work easy when you resume to your business almost every work that needs to be done will be done by those staffs at ease.

Indention to details :- staffs tends to pay quality attention to details and also their environment when work place is accommodating.
every business owner needs to embark on self discovery, purpose and they should also work on their expectations.

The course fundamentals of leadership has helped me discover my strength and weaknesses as a leader. I have known areas to make amend and areas to improve. The course has also broadened my knowledge on effective leadership as a founder. I have learnt how to delegate assignment etc.

I will encourage other women in my circle of influence to undertake this training.

I needed the content so badly and I'm so glad that it came through this course at the right time and in such a simple and clear way. It's concise and hands on without extra theoretical background behind, just what a busy entrepreneur and business women need in their life.

I have done an MBA but was not taken through the process of writing a compelling vision statement. I was able to rewrite my vision statement with the guided process of developing a vision statement. Also, noteworthy to talk about is identifying my leadership trait and how it affects the performance of my business. Thank you Goldman Sachs 10,000 women.

So far, I have completed 5 of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women online courses via Coursera. I likes each of them and feel more confident as I go through them. The courses are well structured and clear. I also like the parts where you can listen other business women experience.

It was until I enrolled for fundamentals of leadership, I did not know my leadership was poor; I wasn't also committed to crafting a compelling vision for my organization. I have since been glued onto writing my vision, as a key component of shaping my organisation's culture.
