This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

A manager under sustained pressure is solving three problems at once and is usually trained for none of them: not burning out, not letting the team burn out, and continuing to deliver. Here are 310 tools for all three: 181 ready-to-use question lists, templates, checklists and procedures, 91 models and methods, 36 services shown on screen and 2 working files.

Open a lecture, take the checklist, and use it with your team this week.

Why pressure becomes burnout

Pressure is treated as a temporary state, so nobody plans for it. The manager absorbs everything, the team copies the pace, crisis decisions on pay and hiring are made in a hurry, and wellbeing turns into a perk instead of a system. By the time someone leaves, the cause has been visible for months.

What changes after this course

You see the sources of stress and burnout and work on them systematically. You lead with emotional intelligence, make crisis decisions on hiring, pay and redundancy without losing trust, build a wellbeing system, manage your time and switch leadership style when the situation needs it.

Who is teaching

I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.

At the STB TV channel, where I worked almost five years, my head was loaded with work ten out of ten. In the first years there was no time for sport or healthy food, and I came home exhausted; only in the third or fourth year, when things settled, did I start exercising. The harder the work, the less energy is left to look after yourself.
