Calling out the difference in accountable vs responsible. Highlighting the basics for being viewed as a credible leader. Just the buzz words like honest, empathic, visionary, trusted and social power vs transformational leadership. Very good course!

Good distinctions between manager and leader to assist people to progress from one to another. Good examples of how to become a leader through credibility and influence even without the authority.
