Best leadership lessons with practical examples. The added epic "Mahabharatha" is helpful to incorporate extraordinary pieces of knowledge into our daily life which is a gift. I would like to request Prof. Vishal Gupta to start other courses too in leadership by drawing analogies from the Vedas and other old scriptures.

As someone who recently completed the Leadership Skills course at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, I have to say that it was an incredibly enriching and well-organized experience. The curriculum covered a wide range of topics related to leadership, including leadership styles and behaviors, managing ethical dilemmas, developing organizational culture, handling change, power dynamics, and politics, and even leadership lessons from The Mahabharata. Including real-life case studies allowed us to apply the theoretical concepts we learned to practical situations. Overall, I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their leadership abilities and positively impact their organization and beyond.

A must for all in today's challenging times. Anyone who is in a leadership role or looking to get in to a leadership role should compulsorily go through this course. Very concise and to the point giving life examples. Their module on Mahabharata and the leadeship skills of various characters in this epic is very well formulated and we can relate to the same very easily. Great course by Prof. Vishal Gupta. Kudos.
