Leading the Way (1 of 3)

For the past four years, Leadership has secured the #1 spot for most popular course category. Given our users' consistent interest in this topic, is there anything different to talk about this year?

Our “new normal” at work is actually far from settled-- remote, hybrid, in-person-- there are new ways of working and each complicates how the workplace functions. These new complications also bring new challenges for leaders (and aspiring leaders). Consequently, interest in Leadership (and all its elementary components) has heightened.

The past two years of working remotely have offered us a peak into each other's personal lives. Unmistakably, the expectation for leaders now is not only should they be able to manage these changes, but they’re expected to be better humans while doing it.

Leadership Fundamentals, new to the list at #10, is up 116% from 2021. Comprehensive Leadership joined the ranks at #9 in terms of inquiries with an increase of 205% (+ 65% in views). Both sub-category increases underscore the hunger for guidance in these turbulent times.

Leadership is not the leader-as-warrior construct of business management from yesteryear. On the contrary, the true leader of today is an empowering one who leads with kindness and humility.
