Understanding the Basics (Deakin University)
As the title would imply, this is a great course for those new to the world of management and leadership.

Build Leadership Skills (HEC Paris)
This French program focuses on the rational side of leadership. The curriculum is built around the Savoir-Relier methodology, which focuses on building up one’s rational skills, self-awareness, and using these to teach attendees how to build positive rather than antagonistic relationships. They preach a four-step approach: introspection, conversation, resilience, and responsibility. In addition, you’ll get the benefit of insight from professionals who have benefited from the HEC Paris programme.
Global Leadership and Management (Arizona State University)
If you are looking to lead your business into the global sphere, this course can help you do just that.
